The authors report a rare case of mycetoma of the adrenal gland. Mycetoma is a chronic, localized, non-contagious infection of cutaneous and subcutaneous tissue characterized by tumefaction, aggregates of aetiological agents (Actinomyces or true fungi). Sometimes an unusual site (other tissues or organs) is described in the literature, but to date no cases of adrenal gland mycetoma have been reported. The treatment of choice is surgical with associated penicillin and/or antifungal drugs. In the case reported surgical treatment is performed with a laparoscopic approach. This technique constitutes the gold standard in cases of benign neoplasms of the adrenal gland and incidentalomas. This therapeutic choice is open to criticism if a malignant neoplasm is suspected.
