Abstract

Oncocytic neoplasms are rare tumors arising in the adrenal glands and usually considered as nonfunctional and benign. We report 4 cases of adrenal oncocytic neoplasm. The paucity of literature describing this entity increases the chance for misdiagnosis. Confirmatory diagnosis is by tissue sampling with adrenalectomy as the mainstay of treatment.

Keywords: Adenoma; CT; MRI; Rare; Weiss criteria.
