title: Adrenal angiomyolipoma.
abstract: Adrenal angiomyolipoma is a rare tumour arising from the mesenchymal tissue containing fat cells. A 72 years old lady presented with right upper quadrant pain. She underwent laparotomy after relevant imaging and investigations and was found to have a right sided adrenal angiomyolipoma confirmed on histopathology, which was encasing the inferior vena cava and renal veins. Due to its diagnostic difficulty, potential to achieve large size and possible complications; surgeons and pathologists should keep angiomyolipoma in mind when dealing with an adrenal mass.
