Adenomatoid Tumor of the Right Adrenal Gland: A Case Report
Adenomatoidný tumor pravej nadobličky: kazuistika
Adenomatoidný tumor nadobličky je veľmi vzácny primárny tumor s dobrou prognózou. Jeho mezotelový pôvod bol potvrdený v mnohých prácach rôznych autorov. Tento pôvod bol dokázaný imunohistochemicky a s pomocou elektrónovej mikroskopie. V našej kazuistike podávame prípad adenomatoidného tumoru pravej nadobličky u 55-ročnej ženy. Jedná sa o druhý známy prípad tohto benígneho nádoru u dospelej ženy. Tiež zdôrazňujeme nález intraluminálnych mostíkov, predstavujúcich typickú histologickú črtu tohto nádoru vo všeobecnosti. Tieto mostíky neboli doteraz u adenomatoidného tumoru nadobličky literárne spomínané.

Overview
Adenomatoid tumor of adrenal gland is a very rare primary tumor with favourable prognosis. The mesothelial origin of this tumor was confirmed by multiple studies of various authors. This origin was proven by immunohistochemical and ultrastructural examinations. In our case report, we present an interesting case of the adenomatoid tumor of the right adrenal gland in a 55-year-old woman. Our case is the second well-documented case of this tumor occurring in a female adult patient. We emphasize the presence of an intraluminal thread-like bridging strands, generally considered to be a characteristic histologic feature of this tumor, which have not yet been reported in literature in adenomatoid tumor located in adrenal glands.
Key words:
adenomatoid tumor – adrenal gland – mesothelial origin – intraluminal bridges – immunohistochemistry – electron microscopy
