Abstract

There are a variety of causes of adrenal pseudotumors on computerized tomography (CT) scan, including upper-pole renal mass, gastric diverticulum, prominent splenic lobulation, pancreatic mass, hepatic mass, and periadrenal varices. We present a case of a large subhepatic mass that discrimination of its origin from neighborhood organs was difficult preoperatively. Our patient was a 58 years old man, that three months after an unsuccessful operation in another center for a pseudoadrenal mass underwent a very difficult subcapsular tumorectomy in our center.
