Abstract
Leiomyoma is a benign tumor of smooth muscle cells. Localization of this formation in the adrenal glands is extremely rare, even less common is the defeat of both adrenal glands. In the literature, we found less than 10 described cases of the occurrence of a similar pathology in children. The article presents a case of a 17-year-old girl with complaints of tachycardia and an increase in pressure, which subsequently revealed bilateral adrenal masses. Histological verification diagnosed leiomyoma.
