Abstract
|
|
|
|
Adrenal cysts are a rare disease, and its prevalence is reported to be 0.06∼0.18%. Its frequency of being recognized is increasing due to the widespread use of ultrasonography and computed tomography (CT) scans. We report here on a case of adrenal cyst that was mistaken as biliary cystadenoma prior to operation due to its location and features. Laparoscopic exploration was performed via the transabdominal approach and this revealed a right adrenal cystic mass in the retroperitoneum beneath the liver (segment IV). We present here a case of adrenal cyst with endothelial lining along with a review of the literature to address the clinical presentation, histology, imaging features and differential diagnosis of this interesting and rare entity.
