Zusammenfassung:The diagnostic approach for evaluation of adrenal tumour in pregnant women is a problem. This article presents the multifactorial diagnosis of rare, incidentally detected massive adrenal tumour with 2D and 3D US. Grey-scale 2D and 3D US with tissue harmonic imaging showed inhomogeneous, encapsulated, solid tumour of the right adrenal region. Three-dimensional colour Doppler and power Doppler studies showed ample neovascularization in the tumour and the adrenal vein draining to the inferior vena cava similarly to angiographic studies performed in the past.
