Adrenal indicentaloma
Posted on: March 18, 2015
18.3.15 A frustrating experience with laparoscopic attempt at removal of a large (>6 cm) adrenal incidentaloma of the right adrenal gland in an obese 40 years old man (c/o dr sandhu, senior resident). Poor unhelpful liver retraction of a large pendulous liver by the absent-minded assistants who would rather injure the liver than retract it strongly upwards, poor camerawork by the other unhelpful assistant who would just fail to concentrate on his job, and poor anaesthesia by the junior residents who would just not accept that the patient needs good relaxation, led eventually to conversion to open procedure at which the tumour was easily removed. 
the biopsy was reported as benign – myelolipoma.
