The authors present a case report of a patient with a large, hormonally silent tumour of the right adrenal gland. Due to the patient’s numerous strains, the necessity of two gynaecological operations, and treatment of broken bones, adrenalectomy was contraindicated for 2 years. After that time, the size of the tumour reached 18 cm × 12 cm. The patient was selected for laparoscopic adrenalectomy, which was successful. The size of the tumour and performed abdominal surgery did not constitute substantial obstacles, and the less invasive procedure was additionally justified by computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging results, which demonstrated a benign lesion.
