Giant adrenal tumor: a case report

#149

Introduction: A gigantic adrenal tumor is a challenge regarding diagnosis before surgery and pathological exam, but also related to the surgical approach itself due to multiple risks.

Aim(s): To present a case of an adrenal cyst that mimics a carcinoma because of increased dimensions, necrosis and calcifications.

Materials and methods: We performed a case study of a patient with an incidentally discovered adrenal tumor, which showed apparent rapid growth. The final diagnosis was established based on the immunohistochemical examination of the surgically removed adrenal mass.
