Adrenal hemangioma is a rare disease but should be included in the differential diagnosis of adrenal tumors. The surgical resection is generally required to exclude malignant disease, resolve pressure-related symptoms, and prevent retroperitoneal hemorrhage. Although specific features in diagnostic imaging are often lacking, if the diagnosis is established preoperatively a laparoscopic adrenalectomy can be performed due to the benign nature of the lesion. Doxorubicin and sunitinib were both capable of reducing primary culture cell viability, this suggest that similar drugs may be useful in the medical treatment of adrenal hemangiomas.
