ADRENAL HEMANGIOMA-A CASE REPORT-

Abstract

A 70-year-old woman was incidentally detected to have a tumor in the upper portion of the right kidney by abdominal ultrasonography which was done before operation for cholecystolithiasis. CT and angiography visualized a hypervascular tumor. It was diagnosed as adrenal angioma from measurements of hormone levels in the blood and urine. Cholecystectomy and removal of the tumor were performed. Histopathologically it was cavernous hemangioma in the adrenal gland. Adrenal hemangioma is a rare disease and this is the 22nd cases seen in the Japanese literature.
