RESUMO
Medical errors during surgery are usually under-reported and not well studied. During the past decade, increased interest in medical malpractice has been shown by both the public and the authorities. A particularly high risk of medical errors is seen in emergency settings, unexpected change in procedure, or in patients with a high body mass index. Visually or acoustically controlled monitoring before wound closure are recommended to eliminate human error as thoroughly as possible. Prevention remains the key to solving the problem.

Angiomyolipoma is apparently a part of a family of neoplasms that derive from perivascular epitheloid cells. It is a rare mesenchymal tumor, usually found in the kidney. Extrarenal angiomyolipoma is uncommon and the most common extrarenal site is the liver. Only two cases of adrenal angiomyolipoma are reported in English literature. Authors wish to add one more case to world literature. Because of its large size and symptomatic presentation of extremely rare tumor merits documentation.
