Adrenal cavernous hemangioma is an extremely rare benign tumor. To date, less than 70 cases have been reported in the literature. In most of the cases, the tumor is hormonally silent, discovered incidentally and the diagnosis is made postoperatively. Pre-operative differentiation between this benign tumor and other malignant adrenal tumors is challenging. In this article we present a case of a non-functioning adrenal incidentaloma that was managed by laparoscopic adrenalectomy. The post-operative histological diagnosis was adrenal cavernous hemangioma.

Abstract
Adrenal cavernous hemangioma is an extremely rare benign tumor. To date, less than 70 cases have been reported in the literature. In most of the cases, the tumor is hormonally silent, discovered incidentally and the diagnosis is made postoperatively. Pre-operative differentiation between this benign tumor and other malignant adrenal tumors is challenging. In this article we present a case of a non-functioning adrenal incidentaloma that was managed by laparoscopic adrenalectomy. The post-operative histological diagnosis was adrenal cavernous hemangioma.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
