Adrenal hemangioma: A rare incidental tumor managed with laparoscopic partial adrenalectomy
Adrenal hemangiomas are rare, non-functional vascular tumors often discovered incidentally and frequently mistaken for malignant adrenal masses. We present a 49-year-old man with an asymptomatic, hypervascular right adrenal lesion detected on routine imaging. Although hormonal evaluation was normal and the likelihood of malignancy was low, radiologic features could not definitively exclude a neoplasm. The patient underwent laparoscopic partial adrenalectomy with uneventful recovery. Histopathology confirmed adrenal hemangioma. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges of hypervascular adrenal masses and considerations for adrenal-sparing surgical management.
