Gastric Diverticulum Misdiagnosed as a Left Adrenal Lesion

Abstract

A 56 year-old man with a history of gastroesophageal reflux disease was admitted to our Hospital with left abdominal pain. There was no history of vomiting, hematemesis, melena, tiredness or jaundice. Bowel sounds were normal and no masses were identified at clinical examination. An ultrasound abdominal scan was performed and a hypoechoic 24 mm mass in left adrenal loggia was reported. An abdominal CT scan showed a 2.4 cm rounded mass in the area of the left adrenal gland with densitometric mean values of -7 HU, interpreted as adrenal adenoma.
