title: Choriocarcinoma of the adrenal gland: A case report.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Non-gestational, extragonadal choriocarcinoma is a rare clinical entity.
  
  
  METHODS
  Herein, we report a 56 year old woman who presented with an incidental adrenal mass and was diagnosed with a non-gestational choriocarcinoma of the adrenal gland as the sole site of disease.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  To our knowledge, this is the first case of an ectopic primary adrenal choriocarcinoma. A metastasis from a primary tumor that completely regressed or that could not be identified is an alternate explanation.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  It should be recognized that choriocarcinoma can affect the adrenal gland and it should be considered as a rare cause for an adrenal incidentaloma.
