ABSTRACT

Adrenal lipomas are extremely uncommon detected of an incidental way, and hormonally inactive. Entity stressed first by Geelhoed and Druy in 1982, but other references have mentioned the first description in 1988 and since 1994 only seven cases had been reported. The case presented is a 70 years old man with right adrenal lipoma incidentally detected, witch is transabdominally resected. In the literature, this condition has been found to have a frequency of 4.8% of primary adrenal tumors, corresponding 0.7% for lipomas with a postmortem prevalence of 0.02% and 0.4% of the primary adrenal tumors surgically resected. The conclusion is that lipomas of the adrenal gland are extremely uncommon, each time with most possibility to be detected, due to the advances of the imagenology, even though these are benign tumors, which have the inconvenience of great size and to cause compressive symptoms, we have to know that this has a malignant potential, for this reason is important an early diagnosis and treatment.
