Adenomatoid tumor (AT) is a benign growth that originates from mesothelial cells. Typically, it encompasses the uterus, fallopian tubes, and paratesticular area. One-third of all AT is in paratesticular area, and it accounts for 60% of all benign paratesticular tumors. ATs have been seldom reported as a case report in adrenal gland, liver, pleura, and mediastinal cavity. To date, English literature has only documented 46 instances of adrenal AT. We present the occurrence of a new clinically unexpected case of adrenal AT in a 37-year-old male patient. Computed tomography (CT scan) incidentally revealed the presence of a tumor. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported instance of primary adrenal gland AT reported in Saudi Arabia and the 47th instance worldwide in the English-based published literature. It is crucial to thoroughly investigate these tumors, utilizing techniques such as histopathological analysis and immunohistochemical staining to correctly diagnose AT.
腺瘤样瘤（AT）是一种起源于间皮细胞的良性肿瘤。通常，它累及子宫、输卵管和睾丸旁区域。所有AT中有三分之一位于睾丸旁区域，占所有睾丸旁良性肿瘤的60%。AT很少作为病例报告出现在肾上腺、肝脏、胸膜和纵隔腔。迄今为止，英文文献仅记载了46例肾上腺AT。我们报告了一名37岁男性患者出现的一例新的临床意外肾上腺AT病例。计算机断层扫描（CT扫描）偶然发现了一个肿瘤。据我们所知，这是沙特阿拉伯报道的首例原发性肾上腺AT，也是英文发表文献中全球第47例。利用组织病理学分析和免疫组化染色等技术对这些肿瘤进行全面研究以正确诊断AT至关重要。
