Abstract

Adrenal masses can be encountered with many different clinical manifestations and a diverse spectrum of etiologies in clinical practice. Recent ad- vances in imaging and laboratory studies as well as their increasingly widespread use and easy accessibility have currently made it possible to diagnose a greater number of surrenal masses than ever. The basic approach principles vary for incidentally detected masses, benign/malignant masses, and hormonoactive masses. Lymphangiomas are benign congenital malformations of lymphatic channels that primarily affect the neck and head region. They typically affect children younger than 2 years of age, they are uncommon in adults and they rarely involve surrenal glands. In this paper, we aimed to present a woman with a hormonally inactive right giant adrenal mass showing recent rapid growth, which was diagnosed to be a lymphangioma in an atypical localization in histopathological examination. The patient was operated with right adrenalectomy and total mass excision via laparoscopic lateral transperitoneal approach

Özet

Sürrenal kitleler klinikte çok farklı etiyolojiler ve farklı klinik bulgularla karşımıza çıkabilmektedir. Görüntüleme ve laboratuar tekniklerinde sağ- lanan gelişmeler ve bunların giderek daha yaygın ve kolay kullanılması, daha fazla sürrenal kütlenin tanımlanabilmesini sağlamaktadır. İnsiden- tal kütlelere, benign/malign kütlelere ve hormonoaktif kütlelere yaklaşım birbirlerinden farklıdır. Lenfanjiyomlar esasen baş ve boyun bölgesini etkileyen lenfatik kanalların benign konjenital malformasyonlarıdır. Genellikle iki yaş altı çocuklarda görülen lenfanjiomların, erişkin hastada ve özellikle sürrenalde görülmesi çok beklenmez. Bu makalede, takipte son zamanlarda hızlı büyüme tespit edilen, hormonal olarak inaktif sağ dev surrenal kütlesi olan ve histopatolojik incelemede alışılmadık lokalizasyonuyla lenfanjiom tanısı alan bir erişkin kadın olgu sunuldu. Olguya lapa- roskopik lateral transperitoneal yaklaşımla sağ sürrenalektomi ile birlikte total kütle eksizyonu yapıldı
