Abstract
Adenomatoid tumors are common in the genital tract but rare in the adrenal gland. These tumors can be difficult to diagnose when present in extragenital sites. This type of adrenal tumor lacks specific radiographic features and can be confused preoperatively with more common adrenal gland tumors. We present the case of a 54-year-old man with an incidental right adrenal mass with calcified components and elevated urinary levels of homovanillic acid that was found to be an adenomatoid tumor of the adrenal gland.
