Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Radiology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Adrenal cysts are rare, often asymptomatic, and typically discovered incidentally.
  • This case highlights the diagnostic process for an adrenal cyst presenting alongside a urinary tract infection.

Observation:

  • A 30-year-old female presented with right flank pain, diagnosed with pyelonephritis.
  • Imaging revealed an incidental cystic structure in the right suprarenal space.
  • MRI confirmed a 4.8x4.5 cm right adrenal cyst with calcification, septations, and nodularity.

Findings:

  • Histological examination of the resected cyst confirmed it as a cystic lymphangioma of the adrenal gland.
  • Cystic lymphangioma is a rare, benign adrenal lesion.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of thorough radiological evaluation for incidental adrenal findings.
  • Understanding the diagnostic features of adrenal cysts, including lymphangiomas, is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.
