[Suprarenal cysts. Diagnostic value of percutaneous puncture guided by echoscopy (author's transl)]

Percutaneous needle aspiration was carried out in one case of suprarenal cysts which had already been evaluated by pyelography, echography and angiography. The characteristics of the aspirated liquid pointed towards a benign lesion, and enabled conservative treatment to be initiated. More generally, diagnosis of suprarenal tumors benefits from the direct approach already applied to other abdominal tumors.
