Area of Science:
- Endocrinology
- Surgical Pathology
- Radiology
Background:
- Adrenal cysts are rare, with their true epithelial origin debated.
- This series encompasses diverse adrenal cyst types, including hydatid, lymphatic, and pseudocysts.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present a series of adrenal cyst cases.
- To document the types and management of adrenal cysts.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective review of 7 patients with adrenal cysts.
- Surgical resection and pathological examination of adrenal cysts.
Main Results:
- Seven patients (5 adult females, 2 neonates) presented with adrenal cysts.
- The cysts comprised 1 hydatid, 1 lymphatic, and 5 pseudocysts.
- Three cysts were diagnosed preoperatively and surgically resected.
Conclusions:
- The presented cases include various types of adrenal cysts, contributing to the understanding of their nature.
- Surgical intervention is a viable option for adrenal cyst management.
