title: Laparoscopic transperitoneal adrenalectomy for adrenocortical oncocytoma.
abstract: A middle aged male patient (39 year old) presented with right renal pain. During evaluation a small renal stone was found in the right kidney, and a mass 6 cm in diameter related to the upper pole of the left kidney was discovered. An endocrinologic evaluation was negative and a laparoscopic transperitoneal adrenalectomy was performed. Final pathology was adrenocortical oncocytoma with malignant potential.
