[A giant adrenal mass: the anatomicopathological surprise finding].

OBJECTIVE

The present study reviews the differential diagnosis of adrenal masses, including the uncommon forms, as the one described herein.

METHOD/RESULTS: A patient with a giant adrenal mass that required differential diagnosis from other types of adrenal masses is presented. The diagnosis could only be made following anatomopathological analyses.

CONCLUSIONS

The present case demonstrates that the uncommon forms of adrenal masses must be taken into account in the differential diagnosis, which, however, can only be confirmed by the pathological analysis since the findings on diagnostic imaging mimic other forms.
