Hypertrophic suprarenal gland is an anomaly which can lead to serious complications during adrenalectomy under endoscopy because of abnormal veins of the retroperitoneum. The authors report a rare dissection of a male which presented with this anomaly in a case of homolateral renal agenesis, highlighting this left pseudorenal vein. No abnormality of the genital tract was found. The anatomic features, associated syndromes, implications for endoscopic surgery are outlined and embryologic considerations and discussed.
