Adrenal pseudocyst mimicking cancer: a case report

Adrenal cysts are infrequently observed, since less than 500 cases have been reported in Western literature. Adrenal cysts are conventionally divided into four categories: epithelial, parasitic, endothelial, and hemorrhagic. They are characterized by different etiological and pathological features....

Zusammenfassung:	Adrenal cysts are infrequently observed, since less than 500 cases have been reported in Western literature. Adrenal cysts are conventionally divided into four categories: epithelial, parasitic, endothelial, and hemorrhagic. They are characterized by different etiological and pathological features. Some authors suggest that endothelial and hemorrhagic cysts are related and may represent a spectrum of lesions. We report herein the case of an adrenal hemorrhagic pseudocyst that simulated adrenocortical cancer and argue on the clinical clues for a differential diagnosis with other adrenal tumors.
