[Cavernous hemangioma of the adrenal glands: a clinical case].
Cavernous haemangiomas of the adrenal gland are rare and the preoperative diagnosis is very difficult. We report the case of a patient admitted for aspecific abdominal pain. Instrumental diagnostic investigations (ultrasonography and CT scan) revealed an adrenal mass of uncertain interpretation which was surgically removed and histologically diagnosed as a cavernous haemangioma.
