title: Non-functioning tumor of the suprarenal gland. Compatible with metastasis from a melanoma.
abstract: A case of metastatic melanoma in the right suprarenal gland is presented. It manifested as a mass and paraneoplastic syndrome. We put forward a set of considerations on the differential diagnosis of suprarenal masses, and the diagnostic use of several tests taken in conjunction (echography, computer tomography, percutaneous punctures).
