Pseudotumor of adrenal gland

A sixty-two-year-old male underwent medical evaluation because of hypertension. A suprarenal mass was detected on pyelography and subsequently confirmed by tomography, angiography, sonography, and adrenal venography. In spite of these positive diagnostic studies surgical exploration revealed a normal adrenal gland surrounded by dense fibroadipose tissue which appeared to account for the pseudotumor.
