“…Most are benign, with myelolipomas and haemangiomas being the most common entities in this group. 6 A literature search identified four previous reports of primary adrenal leiomyosarcoma. These occurred in three males and one female, ranging in age from 30 to 49 years.…”

We report a rare case of a primary leiomyosarcoma of the adrenal gland. A 73-year-old woman presented with an inferior vena cava syndrome. MR imaging was suggestive of a large tumour originating from the right adrenal gland. Angiography revealed a tumour vascularised by the right adrenal artery. At explorative laparotomy a tumour of 27 cm in diameter was found which was completely fixed to the liver; the tumour was therefore considered unresectable. As a consequence of the mechanical problems caused by this large tumour, the patient died 3 weeks after the operation. Autopsy revealed no distant metastases or other primary tumour site.

“…35,36 True hemangiomas of the adrenal gland are rare; they generally lack the degenerative changes and the thick fibrous capsule seen in the hemorrhagic adrenal pseudocyst. 37 Rare lymphangiomas have been reported, but they probably represent adenomatoid tumors. 38 -40 Adrenal pseudocyst with focal myelolipomatous metaplasia should be distinguished from myelolipoma, which typically forms a solid mass with a tan-yellow to red-brown cut surface and histologically is composed entirely of adipose tissue and hematopoietic elements.…”

Pathology Case Reviews

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Adrenal masses, particularly clinically unapparent ones, are being detected with increasing frequency due to the widespread use of sophisticated imaging techniques performed for conditions that are not related to adrenal diseases. The radiographic finding of a cystic adrenal gland usually leads to an adrenal biopsy or resection. The pathologist must distinguish between benign cysts and cystic presentations of primary adrenal tumors. This review focuses on morphology, pathogenesis, and ancillary testing results of cystic masses of the adrenal gland and also discusses their pathologic differential diagnosis.
