Abstract

Adrenal lipomas are rare, small, usually nonfunctional tumors with an incidence of 2-4%. Most cases have been found incidentally during investigation for unrelated problems or autopsy. We report a 76 years old woman with symptomatic right sided giant adrenal lipoma of 17 cm in diameter presented with abdominal pain.
