(Mariño 2015)Q-Code conceptual content
Incidental finding ; information inadvertently discovered during medical treatment or research which was not intentionally sought (NIEH Gloss)Incidental Findings ; Unanticipated information discovered in the course of testing or medical care. Used in discussions of information that may have social or psychological consequences, such as when it is learned that a child's biological father is someone other than the putative father, or that a person tested for one disease or disorder has, or is at risk for, something else.(MeSH)Incidentaloma ; used to design an incidentally discovered mass, by chance, in an asymptomatic person, which probably never will harm his/her, not excluding a real possibility of damage and a few chance of benefit. It is a form of overdiagnosis emerging from the massive use of high-resolution diagnostic imaging. In many cases, it is associated with the increased rate of new diagnoses, causes anxiety, consumes time and resources, and can even induce damage by the subsequent follow-up. (Marino M 2014)UMLS CUI
