Functioning and nonfunctioning cysts of the adrenal cortex and medulla.

G P Kearney, E M Mahoney, E Maher

    American Journal of Surgery
    |September 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    Adrenal cysts are rare growths, often asymptomatic and found incidentally. Surgical exploration is recommended for diagnosis and to exclude serious conditions like pheochromocytoma.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Surgical Pathology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Adrenal cysts are uncommon clinical and pathological findings.
    • Most are small, unilateral, and discovered incidentally in females during autopsy.
    • Symptomatic cysts can cause lumbar pain, gastrointestinal issues, or be palpable.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of adrenal cysts.
    • To highlight the importance of differentiating adrenal cysts from other suprarenal masses.
    • To emphasize the role of imaging and biochemical studies in preoperative diagnosis.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of literature on adrenal cyst diagnosis and treatment.
    • Discussion of diagnostic modalities including nephrotomography, ultrasonography, and adrenal arteriography.

  • Emphasis on biochemical testing to rule out functional tumors.

    • Main Results:

    • Preoperative diagnosis of adrenal cysts is increasingly feasible with advanced imaging.
    • Peripheral or laminar calcification in a suprarenal mass suggests an adrenal pseudocyst.
    • Biochemical studies are crucial to exclude cystic pheochromocytoma and adrenal cortical tumors.

    Conclusions:

    • Adrenal cysts require differentiation from other abdominal space-occupying lesions.
    • Surgical exploration is generally recommended for definitive diagnosis and to rule out malignancy or pheochromocytoma.
    • Surgical approach should be tailored to lesion size and location, prioritizing preservation of adjacent organs.
