Abstract
in English, French

Adrenal gland hemangioma is a very rare histologic entity belonging to the group of incidentalomas. It is often asymptomatic, unexpectedly detected during imaging examination and resulting from another abdominal affection. We here report a single case to further enrich international case series which are still very limited.

L’hémangiome surrénalien est une entité histologique très rare appartenant au groupe des incidentalomes. Il est souvent asymptomatique, de découverte fortuite lors d’un examen d’imagerie sollicité par une autre affection abdominale. Nous rapportons dans ce travail un seul cas permettant d’étoffer la série internationale qui reste jusqu’à nos jours très limitée.

Keywords: Hemangioma; adrenal gland; cavernous hemangioma; laparoscopy.
