Adrenal tumors are nowadays being detected with increasing frequency due to the widespread use of various radiological imaging techniques (CT, MRI, US). Incidentally discovered adrenal masses (incidentalomas) are shown in 1% to 5% of all abdominal CT scans performed. Cavernous hemangiomas of the adrenal gland are extremely rare, benign in nature and most usually non-functioning lesions. We report a case of a 50-year-old female who presented with flank pain and abdominal discomfort. MRI of the abdomen revealed a large, oval, adrenal tumor mass, embedded between the upper pole of the right kidney and inferior surface of the liver. Surgery was performed, and tumor was excised completely. Histopathological examination revealed a cavernous hemangioma of the adrenal gland.
