Abstract
CONTEXT: We report on a case of adrenal angiomyolipoma. OBJECTIVE: The aim was to present a case report and review of the literature about adrenal angiomyolipoma. DESIGN: The case report includes a history of patient data and literature review. SETTING: The patient was offered adrenalectomy with adrenal gland neoplasms and gave consent. The tumor was completely removed. PATIENT: We present the case of a 55-yr-old patient with a 15 × 16-cm adrenal angiomyolipoma. INTERVENTION: We performed adrenalectomy with adrenal gland neoplasms. RESULTS: The histopathological features confirmed the diagnosis of adrenal angiomyolipoma. The patient made an uneventful recovery and was normal at the 6-month follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: Angiomyolipomas are rare mesenchymal tumors derived from perivascular epithelioid cells. These are commonly found in the kidney. Angiomyolipoma arising in the adrenal is a very rare entity. We present a case of adrenal angiomyolipoma. In our case, the tumor size was (15 × 16 cm), the largest being reported.
