[Adenomatoid tumor of the adrenal gland. Case report and review of the literature].

Abstract

Adenomatoid tumors of the adrenal gland are rather rare, asymptomatic neoplasias with benign behavior and usually are diagnosed incidentally. The authors report a case of an adenomatoid tumor of the right adrenal gland in a 32-year-old man who sought evaluation because of fever and renal pain. During investigation a tumor, localized in right adrenal gland, was identified by ultrasonography and CT. The patient underwent adrenalectomy with histopathological and immunohistochemical diagnosis of adenomatoid tumor of the adrenal gland. Based on literature data the epidemiology, symptoms, differential diagnosis, treatments, histopathology and prognosis of adenomatoid tumors of the adrenal gland are discussed.
