چکیده
Cavernous hemangioma of the adrenal gland is a rare lesion and is seldom examined radiographically. In our case, on staging of gynecological carcinoma, a tumor with calcifications was found in the right adrenal region. On sonography it was of mixed echogenicity, enhanced only poorly on computed tomography and had long-standing contrast-filled lakes on angiography. Surgery revealed a cavernous hemangioma.
