abstract in English:
Adenomatoid tumour (AT) is a rare, benign neoplasm of mesothelial origin, which
usually occurs in the genital tract of both sexes. Occasionally these tumours are found
in extra genital locations such as heart, pancreas, skin, pleura, omentum, lymph
nodes, retroperitoneum, intestinal mesentery and adrenal gland. Histologi cally ATs
show a mixture of solid and cystic patterns usually with focal presence of signet-ring
like cells and scattered lymphoid infiltration. The most important thing about these
tumours is not to misdiagnose them as primary malignant or metastatic neoplasms.
We present a case of an adrenal AT in a 29-year-old asymptomatic male. The tumour
was an incidental finding during abdominal CT-scan for an unrelated condition.
We also present a review of the literature concerning adrenal gland AT and give
possible differential diagnosis.
