Cavernous hemangioma of the adrenal gland

Abstract

A case report is presented of a huge cavernous adrenal hemangioma which was the second largest reported among the 17 which have appeared in the literature. With the advent of modern and sophisticated diagnostic techniques in arteriography, ultrasound, and computerized axial tomography, preoperative recognition and diagnosis should be simplified and surgical removal carried out to rule out possible malignancy, preclude traumatic rupture, or relieve symptoms of the mass lesion.
