RESUMO
Cavernous hemangiomas are unusual tumors with a propensity for skin and liver involvement and rarely involving adrenal gland.Adrenal hemangiomas are nonfunctioning tumors, usually discovered at autopsy. In 1955, Johnson and Jeppensen reported the first adrenal hemangioma to be removed surgically.One case of emangioma of the adrenal gland was reported in Korea. We report a case of a cavernous hemangioma of the adrenal gland which was successfully treated surgically.In addition, we review the clinical, radiographic, and pathologic features of this disease. With the advance of diagnostic thchniques in arterography, ultrasound, and computerized tomography, preoperative recognition and diagnosis should be simplified and surgical removal carried out to rule out possible malignancy, preclude traumatic rupture, or relieve symptoms of the mass.
