GROSS DESCRIPTION:
The resected specimen consisted of the right adrenal gland and right kidney. The tumor was found in the adrenal gland which measured 10 cm and weighed 250 grams. The vast majority of the adrenal gland was replaced by the neoplasm which appeared to be confined within the adrenal capsule. No invasion into the adjacent kidney was seen. However on the medial anterior aspect of the adrenal gland, a 0.5 cm. dilated adrenal vein totally occluded with tumor was identified.
