Abstract:
An 84-year-old woman with left flank pain presented to our institution. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography demonstrated a large spherical adrenal mass (diameter 13 cm) showing features of a benign lesion. Histologic examination revealed a giant adrenal hemangioma. Surgical resection was curative, with no recurrence at 2 years of follow-up. Surgery is usually recommended for symptomatic patients or in the case of a large lesion (>6 cm) because of the possibility of the coexistence of a malignancy or potential complications (ie, hemorrhage, rupture).
