A case of adrenal hemangioma is reported. A 2.5 x 2.5 cm right adrenal tumor was discovered incidentally in a 61-year-old woman by computed tomography in October 1992. Hormonal levels were within the normal ranges, and the patient was followed for five years under a diagnosis of non-functioning adrenal tumor. The tumor enlarged slowly to 4.6 x 4.2 cm. Then the tumor was removed surgically and the pathological examination revealed adrenal cavernous hemangioma.

Purpose: Adrenal vascular tumors are mainly represented by adrenal cavernous hemangiomas (ACHs) and adrenal cystic lymphangiomas (ACLs). Their radiological features often overlap with malignant tumors, therefore ruling out malignancy becomes mandatory. We analyzed clinical, radiological, and histopathological data to identify specific characteristics of these tumors.

Neuroblastoma is a malignant tumor derived from the neural crest cells that often involves the adrenal glands and rarely metastasizes to the skin. Here, we present a case of a nine-month-old male infant who presented with multiple noncompressible blue-purple subcutaneous nodules, initially suggestive of atypical deep hemangiomas. The ultrasound revealed a lack of increased vascularity of the masses and an adrenal mass, leading to a biopsy and diagnosis of a neuroblastoma involving the adrenal gland, liver, and skin.
