The aim of this paper is to present five cases of patients with giant adrenal malignant tumors that underwent laparoscopic transabdominal lateral adrenalectomy in our department between 2010 and 2017. Literature is also reviewed in order to investigate the feasibility of laparoscopic resection in these cases.
