Pathologic studies showed that all were adrenal cysts without malignancy in any case.
Conclusions:
Adrenal cysts are a rare disease of which correct diagnosis is difficult so that many times patients undergo surgery without a proper preoperative diagnosis. There are controversies about the right management of adrenal cysts.
