Adrenal hemangiomas are exceedingly rare benign tumors. Hemangiomas are commonly found in the skin and liver. When they arise in the adrenal gland, they are typically found incidentally on imaging, large size at presentation and are usually surgically resected in view of their large size and heterogeneous imaging appearance. We present a 66-year-old female who presented with right abdominal pain and weight loss and was found to have a large adrenal hematoma arising from a hemangioma.

The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) is critical in regulating cortisol production during stress. This makes it a key target for treating conditions associated with hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis dysregulation, such as mental disorders. This study explores novel ligands beyond mifepristone for their potential to modulate GR with improved efficacy and safety.
