Abstract
Cystic lesions of adrenal gland are rare and usually asymptomatic in children. Cysts usually have been found incidentally by imaging studies during an investigation of other abdominal causes. Differential diagnosis of adrenal cysts from other cystic disease may not be possible by imaging studies. Although the management of adrenal cysts is a controversial subject, surgical treatment is still important for both diagnosis and treatment. In this case report, we will discuss the surgical approach of a case with adrenal cyst detected incidentally.
Highlights
Cystic lesions of the adrenal gland are rare, often manifested by nonspecific clinical and radiological findings, and are not well recognized
We aimed to present a case of the adrenal cyst which not diagnosed definitely preoperatively
Adrenal cysts represent as rare clinical entities that observed in 0.06-0.18% of the population in autopsy series [3,4,5]
