A 50-year-old man was found to have an incidental peri-adrenal cystic lesion on CT imaging which was removed laparoscopically. Histological examination showed a cystic structure composed of respiratory and cuboidal-type epithelium with underlying smooth muscle, cartilage and seromucinous glands. The differential diagnosis for such a lesion includes bronchogenic cyst or teratoma differentiated. This case report offers an overview of both the conditions and the difficulties encountered in the histological distinction.

Aims: Anastomosing haemangioma is a rare benign vascular neoplasm that may histologically mimic angiosarcoma. We report the largest single institution series of anastomosing haemangioma in the adrenal gland with emphasis on clinical and radiological features.
Methods And Results: Our laboratory information system was searched for a 25-year period (1999-2023), yielding seven cases confirmed as anastomosing haemangioma of the adrenal gland after pathological re-review.

This is a case report of a 51 year old male who was found to have an incidental left sided non-functioning adrenal mass on routine medical examination and which was confirmed by CT and MRI scans. A laparoscopic left adrenalectomy was done. On gross examination the tumour was a solitary well circumscribed solid-cystic mass with a homogenous pinkish white cut surface.

Herein is reported a case of a putative tumor of the left adrenal gland found incidentally during the workup of a cirrhotic patient with portal hypertension. This mass manifested vascular enhancement and other features of an adenoma both on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. Additional workup revealed elevated salivary cortisol and plasma aldosterone levels.
