[Oncocytic tumor of the adrenal gland].

Oncocytic tumor of the adrenal gland. The authors describe a case of a rare tumor arising in the adrenal gland. The tumor 6 cm in diameter, connected to the right adrenal gland, was found incidentally in a healthy young man of 34 years of age, who suffered an accident and had a rib fracture. No pathological hormone production was detected on laboratory tests. The right adrenal gland with the tumor was removed by laparoscopic surgery. Histopathological examination revealed an oncocytic adenoma of the adrenal cortex. The authors describe the morphology and the differential diagnosis of this rare tumor of the adrenal gland.
