Abstract
An ectopic, nonsecreting chromaffin tumour was revealed by vena cava c ompression responsible for pulmonary embolism. Based on radiological f indings, the first hypothesis was a hepatic cystic tumour. The final d iagnosis was confirmed by histological examination of the tumour. Ecto pic sites of adrenal tumours and their embryology, diagnosis and thera peutic problems are discussed in the light of this case.
