XXXX of the adrenal gland: a case report.

@entity1 @entity101 @entity362 @entity5 @entity583 @entity528 @entity9272
INTRODUCTION: @entity362 of the adrenal gland is rare with a reported incidence of between 2% to 4%. Improved imaging techniques have helped in the diagnosis of these lesions. CASE PRESENTATION: We report an incidentally detected @entity362 in a 43-year-old Asian @entity1 with a six year history of @entity101 . He had a @entity583 one year earlier, for which he was taking an antiplatelet agent in addition to antihypertensive medication.The @entity5 was detected by computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, and was a large, well-defined, altered signal intensity lesion 12 cm in size in the right suprarenal region. The @entity5 was resected laparoscopically and sent for histopathologic evaluation. It measured 15 cm   11.5 cm   6.5 cm on gross examination, weighed 810 g and had a homogenous yellow cut surface. The postoperative course was smooth. Microscopy revealed mature adipose tissue with @entity528 . Over the course of a four month follow-up the @entity1 recovered. CONCLUSION: @entity362 of the adrenal gland, a @entity5 , is rare compared with @entity9272 . Improved radiologic modalities have led to increased reporting of these @entity5 . Laparoscopic removal of the @entity5 has helped in early recovery and in reinstating @entity1 to normal lives.
