Abstract

Background : Adrenal oncocytoma is a very rare lesion, non functioning and benignin most cases. Only 46 cases have been reported in the medical literature.
Aim: This study aimed to report a new case of adrenal oncocytic tumor with uncertain malignant potential.
Case: A 72 year-old- man, consulted for renal fossa pain. Ultrasonography and omputed tomography scan revealed a large mass in the right adrenal gland with extension to the right kidney. A right adrenalectomy and nephrectomy was performed. The diagnosis of adrenal oncocytoma with malignant potential was confirmed by pathology. Patient had a well recovery and left hospital on the fifth day post operatively. He was followed up for 8 months, no tumor recurrence detected.
Conclusion: Adreno cortical oncocytoma is a rare tumor. The majority of reported cases had good prognosis.

Keywords:

Adrenal gland, tumor, oncocytoma
