Abstract
Adrenal tumors are nowadays being detected with increasing frequency due to the widespread use of various radiological imaging techniques (CT, MRI, US). Incidentally discovered adrenal masses (incidentalomas) are shown in 1% to 5% of all abdominal CT scans performed. Cavernous hemangiomas of the adrenal gland are extremely rare, benign in nature and most usually non-functioning lesions. We report a case of a 50-year-old female who presented with flank pain and abdominal discomfort. MRI of the abdomen revealed a large, oval, adrenal tumor mass, embedded between the upper pole of the right kidney and inferior surface of the liver. Surgery was performed, and tumor was excised completely. Histopathological examination revealed a cavernous hemangioma of the adrenal gland.
