Adrenal hemorrhage diagnosed by ultrasonically-guided biopsy

Adrenal hemorrhage in adults is an uncommon disease and is usually associat ed with systemic diseases, trauma or anticoagulation. When adrenal hemorrha ge is discovered in chronic course without any suggestive clinical settings , it is difficult to distinguish adrenal hemorrhage correctly before surgic al resection. We present a case of adrenal hemorrhage which was incidentall y detected as an adrenal mass and was successfully treated in a conservativ e way based upon histopathological findings obtained by ultrasonically guid ed biopsy.
