Left Adrenal Sarcoidosis

ABSTRACT

We present a 50-year-old woman with left adrenal sarcoidosis. She visited our hospital for right upper quadrant discomfort; she was then evaluated for right upper quadrant discomfort. She had no abnormal findings in the laboratory examination, including hormone study, but a mass was detected at left adrenal gland, incidentally. Initially, we thought the mass as nonfunction adrenal adenoma. After she had undergone laparoscopic left adrenalectomy, she was diagnosed with left adrenal sarcoidosis from her histological findings. Adrenal sarcoidosis is a very rare disease. This case provides insight to the experience of left adrenal sarcoidosis.
