Abstract
BAKGROUND: Adrenal glands hemangiomas are rare, benign and non-functional tumors. They are often discovered as incidentalomas either during imaging or autopsies. Nearly 70 cases were reported in the literature. CASE REPORT: We report a case of a non-functional adrenal hemangioma (AH) that was incidentally found on abdominal ultra sonography (US) during the routine control of diabetes of a 58 year-old man. Imaging with US and Computed tomography (CT) showed an heterogeneous and partially calcified 6 cm tumor of the right adrenal gland. The mass was surgically excised and the histological examination concluded to an adrenal haemangioma. CONCLUSION: Although rare, AH should be included in the differential diagnosis of the adrenal neoplasmas.
