Özet

Arteriovenous malformations of adrenal gland are extremely rare. We report a case of an adrenal arteriovenous malformation, mimicking an adrenal tumor in preoperative imaging. A 48-year-old woman presented to our clinic with abdominal pain. A 9x7 cm right adrenal tumor was detected. Based on the imaging findings, adrenal adenoma was suspected. However, clinical symptoms and endocrine abnormalities were absent, the lesion was thought to be non-functional. Laparoscopic right adrenalectomy was performed. Pathologically, this was diagnosed as an adrenal arteriovenous malformation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of an adrenal arteriovenous malformation in the current literature.
