title: [Spontaneous hematoma of the adrenal glands].
abstract: We report an uncommon case of unilateral spontaneous hematoma of the right adrenal gland in a 22-year old young man. Preoperative diagnosis was made by ultrasonography and CT-scan. A right adrenalectomy was performed. Pathological evaluation showed an isolated hematoma without adrenal abnormalities. The diagnostic and therapeutic aspects are discussed.
