Oncocytic Tumors: An Uncommon Benign Adrenal Gland Lesions With Features of Malignancy

Oncocytic cell neoplasms are usually found in the thyroid or salivary glands and the kidneys. Adrenal oncocytoma (AO) is an extremely rare localization. It is often non-functional and the suspicion of malignancy is considered when the size of an adrenal incidentaloma is greater than 4 cm. These adrenal oncocytomas, however, are large, round, and encapsulated with a benign presentation and evolution. We report on a 40-year-old male patient. Upon suspicion of a SARS-CoV-2 infection, the general physician instructed a chest CT scan, which, fortuitously, revealed a suspicious left adrenal lesion measuring 62x45mm. A biochemical investigation was negative for either pheochromocytoma or Cushing's syndrome, allowing the recommended surgery to be performed. The anatomopathological analysis showed an uncommon benign adrenal lesion, an adrenal oncocytoma.
