Abstract

We report a case of a 56-year-old woman who simultaneously presented adrenal and spleen tumors. Computed tomography imaging revealed a 7-cm enhancing adrenal and 2-cm solitary spleen masses. The patient simultaneously underwent left adrenalectomy and splenectomy. The pathological findings revealed the presence of synchronous adrenal and spleen angiosarcomas. Remarkably, she is disease-free since postoperative 18 months.
