“…We should highlight that the use of new imaging techniques, including CT or US, render the adrenal masses a more frequent finding (17). The use of CT-guided or US-guided biopsy would both discover more of these cases and improve patients' clinical outcome since bilateral adrenalectomy and adrenal insufficiency would be prevented (18,19).…”

Nowadays, through the wide use of both magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography, the diagnosis of adrenal incidentaloma is becoming increasingly frequent. Pheochromocytomas are neuroendocrine tumors which produce catecholamine, and they are characterized by headaches, palpitations, sweating and hypertension. Aldosterone-secreting adrenal cortical adenomas can cause various metabolic and cardiovascular diseases due to aldosterone excess. Our aim is to present a rare case of a concomitant existence of pheochromocytoma in the right adrenal and a functioning adrenal cortical adenoma in the left, worthwhile mentioning since the appearance of these two entities in different location in the same patient is unprecedented. The treatment remains challenging.

Adrenal hemorrhage in adults is an uncommon disease and is usually associated with systemic diseases, trauma or anticoagulation. When adrenal hemorrhage is discovered in chronic course without any suggestive clinical settings, it is difficult to distinguish adrenal hemorrhage correctly before surgical resection. We present a case of adrenal hemorrhage which was incidentally detected as an adrenal mass and was successfully treated in a conservative way based upon histopathological findings obtained by ultrasonically guided biopsy.
