Introduction And Importance:
Advances in medical imaging have led to increased detection of rare adrenal cysts, typically asymptomatic. The article emphasizes their silent nature and the evolving diagnostic methods.
Case Presentation:
Woman underwent successful laparoscopic removal of a 9 cm left adrenal cyst. Histological analysis identified it as an endothelial cyst.
Clinical Discussion:
Adrenal cysts, mostly unilateral, have diverse histological types. Diagnosis relies on imaging, and surgical intervention is required for symptomatic cases or those exceeding 5 cm. Minimally invasive techniques have improved outcomes.
Conclusions:
Adrenal cysts, generally benign and asymptomatic, pose diagnostic challenges. Surgical intervention is recommended for larger or symptomatic lesions, with advancements in minimally invasive options improving outcomes.
