INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Adrenal Cavernous Hemangioma is an extremely rare histological type of adrenal tumors, typically asymptomatic and occasionally revealed by a symptom or complication. Here, we report an atypical symptomatic case to enrich the limited international case series.
CASE PRESENTATION: We present the case of an 80-year-old woman who underwent laparoscopic left adrenalectomy for a painful and potentially malignant left adrenal neoplasm, leading to the discovery of a five-centimeter adrenal cavernous hemangioma. The post-operative course was uneventful. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the chronic lumbar pain described initially vanished at the six-month follow-up.
CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Adrenal cavernous hemangioma is typically silent and incidentally discovered on cross-sectional imaging. Symptomatic or complicated forms are extremely rare. Clinical, biological, radiological and histology assessment are crucial for management. Therapeutic decisions depend on the malignancy probability and the functional nature of the adrenal neoplasm, considering surgery versus conservative approaches. Patient's point-of-view and background are also determining factors in the decision-making process. Mini-invasive adrenalectomy is superior to open approach, when feasible and safe.
CONCLUSION: Adrenal cavernous hemangioma is a rare benign vascular tumor often discovered on adrenalectomy specimen. This case illustrates a rare cause of chronic lumbar pain. It also underscores the importance of a multidisciplinary medical decision for this kind of tumors.
