Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 11
Abstract
Adrenal gland cysts are rare and most often found incidentally at radiological imaging or at autopsy with an incidence of 0.06%. Most of the adrenal cysts are small and when larger it very rarely exceeds 10 cm in diameter. Cysts are 2 to 3 times more frequently found in females than male and are bilateral in approximately 10% of cases. In this study we have retrospectively analyze the outcome of surgery in 3 cases of giant adrenal cyst (>10cm) reported to our department. 2 patients were subjected to surgical excision of cyts and 1 was subjected to radical nephroadrenelectomy. On histopathology, 1 was lymphatic cyst, 1 was pseudocyst and 1 was cystic adrenal carcinoma. On follow up, all the 3 patents are symptom free till date.
