ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Adrenal tumors are detected incidentally in 4 to 8% of patients in imaging studies. Adenomas, pheochromocytomas and adrenocortical carcinomas represent the most common tumors of the adrenal glands. Rarely are final histopathological reports are surprising.AIM:
The aim of our study is a retrospective analysis of selected clinical characteristics and hormonal studies in five cases of rare adrenal tumors. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
We present five interesting cases of adrenal tumors two medullary hyperplasia, one adenomatoid tumor, one hydatid cyst and a primary angiosarcoma of the adrenal gland. The final diagnosis was established by means of microscopic examination of the specimens.CONCLUSIONS:
The number of adrenal tumors was increased due to widespread use of imaging procedures. In patients without any known extra-adrenal malignancy most lesions are benign, non-hyper functioning adenomas. Adrenal tumors should be evaluated biochemically and radiologically.
