Adrenal gland pseudocysts are rare, often resulting from hemorrhage. Imaging reveals well-defined cystic masses, but complex cases require differentiation from adrenal cancer and kidney tumors.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Radiology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Cystic lesions of the adrenal gland are uncommon.
  • Adrenal pseudocysts constitute 40% of adrenal cystic tumors, stemming from hemorrhage and degeneration.

Observation:

  • Clinical presentation is often non-specific.
  • Ultrasonography (US) and computed tomography (CT) typically show a well-defined, large cystic mass.
  • Complex pseudocysts may exhibit thickened, irregular walls, heterogeneous internal attenuation due to hemorrhage, and central calcifications.

Findings:

  • Adrenal pseudocysts are characterized by cystic appearance on imaging.
  • Hemorrhage and degeneration are key pathological features.
  • Imaging findings like wall thickening, internal heterogeneity, and calcifications suggest hemorrhage.

Implications:

  • Distinguishing complex adrenal pseudocysts from cystic degeneration in adrenal malignancy is crucial.
  • Differentiation from cystic hypernephroma in the upper pole of the kidney is also important.
  • Accurate diagnosis impacts patient management and prognosis.
