BACKGROUND: Idiopathic unilateral adrenal hemorrhage is rare. Described is the first case reported in the setting of nonmetastatic gestational trophoblastic neoplasia. CASE: A primigravida presented with abdominal pain, fever, and a right upper quadrant mass during the workup for gestational trophoblastic neoplasia. She was diagnosed with idiopathic unilateral adrenal hemorrhage. She was treated with surgical resection and single-agent chemotherapy and had complete remission. CONCLUSIONS: Idiopathic unilateral adrenal hemorrhage is a rare condition and must be considered in the presentation of abdominal pain, fever, and an abdominal mass.
