6. Diagnosing adenomas

Finding an adenoma often happens by chance during tests for other conditions. They're like the plus-ones that weren't expected at the medical imaging party. If there's suspicion of an adenoma, doctors might call for blood tests or scans to get a better look. Sometimes, a biopsy is necessary to confirm the diagnosis and ensure the adenoma isn't something more sinister.
