“…Literature review reveals a significant variation in the type of adrenal mass detected in BWS (Table ) . We subcategorized these masses into the three most commonly reported adrenal findings: adrenal hyperplasia and cysts, adrenal adenoma, and neuroendocrine tumors; we also report other masses and tumors such as adrenal calcification and adrenal carcinoma.…”

Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) is a genetic overgrowth and cancer predisposition syndrome, associated with both benign and malignant adrenal findings. Literature review and an institutional case series elucidate the wide spectrum of adrenal findings in BWS patients. The altered expression of the 11p15 region is likely related to adrenal gland hyperplasia and growth dysregulation. Given the absence of guidelines for managing adrenal findings in BWS, we propose a systematic approach to adrenal findings in BWS patients, to allow for maximum detection of potentially malignant pathology without posing additional risk to patients.

“…EHE has been rarely reported in the urologic system, leading to scarcity of data on adrenal EHE. There have been a few case reports of adrenal EHE in infants (6,7) and EHE involving the liver and adrenal gland (presumed metastatic adrenal lesion with primary hepatic EHE) (8). However, to our knowledge, there is only one case reporting primary adrenal EHE in an adult patient (9).…”

Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a rare vascular endothelial tumor that usually develops in the soft tissues, lung, liver, or bone. Here, we report an incidentally detected adrenal EHE, which was treated by laparoscopic excision. Computed tomography revealed a well-defined solid mass with low washout value in the right adrenal gland, indicating a non adenomatous adrenal tumor. Histologically, the tumor showed endothelial differentiation with cluster of differentiation 31 (CD31) positivity on immunohistochemical staining. Although preoperative diagnosis of adrenal EHE is challenging, the suggestion of a nonadenomatous tumor on adrenal imaging could lead to successful surgical treatment.
