Abstract
Objective:
To emphasize that adrenal cysts are an uncommon finding and in most cases incidentally discovered during evaluation for nonspecific abdominal pain or even at outopsy.
Methods:
We report a case of a non-hypers-creting right adrenal cyst in a middle-aged woman.
Results:
A complete hormone, radiological and sometimes isotopic evaluation are required to make an accurate diagnosis and to determine the adequate treatment.
Conclusion:
Surgical resection is usually prompted by an inaccurate diagnosis and failed conservative treatments.
