Adrenal cysts: diagnosis and management.

ABSTRACT

We present 7 patients (5 adult females and 2 neonate males) with adrenal cysts. The cysts included 1 hydatid, 1 lymphatic and 5 pseudocysts. Three cysts were diagnosed preoperatively and all were resected surgically. The existence of true epithelial cysts of the adrenal gland is doubted by many authors; the present series includes most types of adrenal cyst.
