Key result
Laparoscopic right adrenalectomy successfully managed a rare 5.7 cm primary adrenal angiosarcoma in a 54-year-old female, with an uneventful postoperative recovery and no evidence of metastasis.
Why the study?
Primary adrenal angiosarcoma is a very rare malignancy.
Case Report (n=1)
Primary adrenal angiosarcoma is a rare malignancy that can be successfully managed with laparoscopic adrenalectomy and requires a multidisciplinary approach.
Supports laparoscopic resection for localized primary adrenal angiosarcoma; leaves open optimal adjuvant and surveillance strategies.
Primary adrenal angiosarcoma is a very rare malignancy. This is a case report of a 54-year-old female, who presented with right-sided abdominal pain. Magnetic resonance imaging of the abdomen and pelvis showed a right adrenal mass with a maximum dimension of 5.7 cm. The patient went for a laparoscopic right adrenalectomy. The postoperative period was uneventful, and she was discharged on postoperative day 2. The patient was free from complaints at outpatient follow-up visits. Pathology confirmed the diagnosis of adrenal angiosarcoma and the metastasis workup was negative. A multidisciplinary approach through the expertise of medical oncology, surgical oncology, and histopathology is essential for the diagnosis and management of such rare diseases.

Alsarraj et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Primary adrenal angiosarcoma (n=1). Laparoscopic right adrenalectomy was evaluated. Laparoscopic right adrenalectomy successfully managed a rare 5.7 cm primary adrenal angiosarcoma in a 54-year-old female, with an uneventful postoperative recovery and no evidence of metastasis.
