Abstract

This case report describes the surgical management of a giant left adrenal mass (27 x 26 × 27 cm, 9.370 kg) in a 69-year-old female. We review the multidisciplinary decision-making process for pre-operative preparation, embolization, resection feasibility, and strategies to mitigate intra-operative complications. This is the largest adrenal adenoma removal reported to date. The case highlights the importance of meticulous surgical planning and execution in managing rare and challenging cases, with significant implications for patient outcomes.
