Abstract Primary leiomyosarcoma of the adrenal glandis a rare malignant tumor. Few reports aredescribed in the international literature. We report the case of a 50 year old patient, who was diagnosed with a tumor in the right adrenal gland by ultrasonographic examination routine, also confirmed by computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Right adrenalectomy was performed. Pathological study reported primary adrenal leiomyosarcoma. This primary malignant tumor of the adrenal gland is a very rare, clinically silent mass or with nonspecific symptoms, often detectable by imaging studies as large masses, but definitive diagnosis is made by immunohistochemistry.
