Abstract：
AIM:Adrenal gland metastasis are the second most common type of adrenal mass lesions after adenomas and they could be related to numerous malignancies; Literature shows that adrenal metastasis deriving from colorectal cancer are very rare. MATERIAL OF THE STUDY:A 71-year old - male patient, treated two years before with right colectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy for right colon cancer, came to our attention after the diagnosis at follow up, of a left adrenal gland mass; CT scan and CT - PET did not show other pathological findings. RESULTS:The patient underwent left adrenalectomy with trans-peritoneal laparoscopic approach: the definitive histological examination diagnosed metastatic tissue of colonic cancer in left adrenal gland. CONCLUSIONS:Adrenal gland metastases are common clinical entities, but which of them arise starting from colonic cancer are very rare and they are generally discovered about 1 year after the first diagnosis of cancer. Early diagnosis, laparoscopic radical excision when feasible and eventual adjuvant radio-chemotherapy are actually the proper clinical management of adrenal gland metastases finalized to better outcomes in terms of longer survival rate and quality of life. KEY WORDS:Adrenal gland, Colorectal cancer, Laparoscopic, Metastasis. :Le metastasi sono le più comuni forme di massa surrenalica dopo gli adenomi, e possono derivare dalla diffusione di svariate neoplasie; la Letteratura dimostra comunque che raramente tali lesioni derivano da tumori primitivi colo – rettali. Un paziente di 71 anni di età, sottoposto due anni prima ad emicolectomia destra e chemioterapia adiuvante per adenocarcinoma del colon ascendente, è giunto alla nostra osservazione a seguito del riscontro, al follow up, di una lesione surrenalica sinistra, indagata tramite TC e PET –TC; le procedure di stadiazione non avevano evidenziato ulteriori reperti patologici di rilievo. Il paziente è stato sottoposto a surrenalectomia sinistra laparoscopica con approccio trans peritoneale. Esame istologico definitivo: metastasi surrenalica di adenocarcinoma del colon. Le metastasi surrenaliche sono entità patologiche molto comuni; le lesioni di questo tipo derivanti da neoplasie colo–rettali risultano comunque molto rare, e sono in genere diagnosticate entro l’anno dalla diagnosi della neoplasia primitiva. La diagnosi precoce, l’escissione chirurgica radicale se possibile ed una eventuale radio – chemioterapia risultano il gold standard per ottenere migliori risultati 3in termini di sopravvivenza e qualità di vita.
