Abstract
The most common adrenal tumor in the pediatric population is a benign hemangioma.
Adrenal hemangioendotheliomas are extremely rare variants of the hemangioma which
are characterized by the presence of multiple anastomosing vascular spaces lined by
endothelial cells, and have indeterminant biologic behavior. We report a unique case
in a pediatric patient with Beckwith–Wiedemann syndrome which was complicated by a
recurrence of the lesion.
