Adrenal gland calcification often indicates a significant pathological process and warrants further investigation to determine the aetiology. This condition could be seen in all the age groups including the neonates, infants and in adults 1,2 . A variety of causes could cause this condition 2—10 . However, most of the published literature on this topic based upon radiological findings in clinical cases and autopsy based reports are rare. This communication highlights a rare case of uncompromised unilateral adrenal calcification in an adult with a history of complicated birth events. The study is based upon historical, autopsy and histopathological findings.
