Summary: | Leiomyoma is a benign tumor of smooth muscle origin. Primary leiomyoma of the adrenal gland is very rare. Adrenal tumors are often diagnosed during the ultrasound or computerized tomography (CT) study as incidentaloma. According to the literature review, up to 2018, the largest size of adrenal leiomyoma which had ever been reported was 12 × 10 × 8 cm in dimension (Maher et al.). Herein, we report the largest adrenal leiomyoma with the tumor mass of 600 g (14,1x11,4x10,1 cm) from a female patient admitted to our hospital.
