Abstract：Objective:To summarize the diagnostic and treatment experiences for rare adrenal area tumors.Methods:Between January 2010 and December 2016,a total of 21 patients (10 men and 11 women with an age ranging from 8-73 years,mean 45 years) with adrenal area tumors were treated in our urological department.The data of those patients were analyzed retrospectively.All the patients received surgical operation and obtained pathological results.There were 4 cases of rare adrenal metastatic tumors,3 cases of cortical adenocacinoma,3 cases of myelolipoma,3 cases of ganglioneuroma,2 cases of malignant pheochromocytoma,2 cases of neuroblastoma,1 case of oncocytoma,1 case of lymphoma and 2 cases of rare primary retroperitoneal tumors.The right diagnoses were acquired only in 6 cases before operation.Radical resection was carried out in 18 cases and partial resection in 3 cases,and vicinal organs were cut together in 3 cases.Results:All the patients received surgical operation and obtained pathological results.Ther were 4 cases of rare adrenal metastatic tumors,3 cases of cortical adenocacinoma,3 cases of myelolipoma,3 cases of ganglioneuroma,2 cases of malignant pheochromocytoma,2 cases of neuroblastoma,1 case of oncocytoma,1 case of lymphoma and 2 cases of rare primary retroperitoneal tumors.The right diagnoses were acquired only in 6 cases before operation.Radical resection was carried out in 18 cases and partial resection in 3 cases,and vicinal organs were cut together in 3 cases.Conclusions:Preoperative diagnosis was very difficult for the rare adrenal area tumors and surgical therapy remained the first choice of treatment.
