Cureus. 2020 Feb 4;12(2):e6881. doi: 10.7759/cureus.6881.

Abstract

Angiomyolipoma (AML) is a mesenchymal tumor that arises from perivascular epithelioid cells most commonly seen in the kidney and rarely in extrarenal sites. Adrenal AML is a rare clinical entity with only 16 cases reported in the literature according to the World Health Organization report in 2017. We present a 68-year-old male evaluated in our emergency room with worsening chronic right upper quadrant abdominal pain. Computerize tomography (CT) revealed a large right adrenal mass. Adrenelectomy was performed, and the histopathology report confirmed the diagnosis and the tumor size was the largest ever reported. Patient was discharged uneventfully.

Keywords: adrenal mass; angiomyolipoma.
