A 45-year-old man presented with acute-onset left-flank pain. He complained of mild flank discomfort, but there was acute exacerbation that brought him to the emergency department. The CT for suspected ureteric colic showed a moderate-sized left adrenal mass (a). After a detailed endocrinological evaluation, which showed no abnormality, he underwent an open left adrenalectomy via a thoraco-abdominal approach (b), and a well-encapsulated 9 × 5 cm mass was removed (c).
