Mahdi Ali Haddam et al., 2015, The Adrenal Oncocytoma: About Two New Cases, International Journal of Clinical Case Reports, 5(27) 1-5 (doi: 10.5376/ijccr.2015.05.0027)

The adrenal oncocytoma is an exceptional tumor. Only hundred fifty cases have been descripted to date. We report two new observations of a woman 47 years old and a man 58 years old hospitalized for exploration of adrenal mass discovered incidentally (in the woman, 10 cm) and during the exploration of pain in the right hypochondria (in the man, 7 cm). Both tumors were not secretant.

Due to the tumor size, adrenalectomy is performed for both. Histological and immunohistochemical study were in favor of oncocytoma.
