' 2003 Canadian Medical Association A cysts are rare, and mostly asymptomatic. The incidence in autopsy series varies from 0.064% to 0.18%. With computed tomography (CT) and ultrasonography, more cysts are being detected incidentally. In one study, adrenal cysts were discovered incidentally in 0.02% of 12 000 CT scans. We describe a case of a giant adrenal pseudocyst mimicking a malignant lesion.

Hydatid disease is caused by Echinococcus granulosus and is endemic in many parts of the world, including Iran. This parasitic tapeworm can produce cysts in almost every organ of the body, with the liver and lung being the most frequently targeted organs. However, the cyst tends to appear in different and sometimes unusual body sites in various geographical areas of the world. This revi...

ADRENAL-SPECIFIC RADIOLIGAND, 131I-6β-iodomethyl-19norcholest-5(10)-en-3β-ol (131I-adosterol)1 was developed in the 1970s. Increased uptake of the agent in tumor regardless of visualization of the contralateral gland suggests that the adrenal mass is usually a benign cortical adenoma.2 This agent has the potency to diagnose lesions of the adrenal cortex and has been widely used to diagnose lesi...

Adrenal cyst initially described in 1670s, is being diagnosed more frequently with the advent of widespread use diagnostic imaging. Most these cysts are small and remain nonfunctional requirement only conservative approach. Functional, malignant or benign lesions than 5cm size needs surgical intervention. Giant adrenal (>10cm) do pose a clinical dilemma present symptoms as was scenario case ...

OBJECTIVE To analyze surgical methods and evaluate treatment efficacy and safety for managing adrenal cystic lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS All patients presenting with adrenal lesions of the West China Hospital were reviewed retrospectively from January 2003 to April 2013 and 47 were diagnosed as adrenal cysts. Basic information, clinical history, physical examination, laboratory investigati...

  Bronchogenic cysts are among developmental disorders of the primitive foregut which are typically found above the diaphragm. Bronchial cysts discovered in the abdominal cavity or retroperitoneum are extremely rare. We present a rare case of a retroperitoneal bronchogenic cyst which was incidentally detected after a wrestling injury in a 23-year-old man who had a negative medical history. Alth...

RATIONALE Retroperitoneal bronchogenic cysts without specific clinical manifestations are extremely rare and difficult to diagnose preoperatively and are easily misdiagnosed as left adrenal or pancreatic tumors. PATIENT CONCERNS A 48-year-old woman with the chief complaint of obscure epigastric pain for 1 month and with no other gastrointestinal symptoms and no significant medical history. Th...

Adrenal length and width were determined from two-dimensional ultrasound longitudinal images. In study 1, 540 measurements of adrenal glands were attempted from five healthy beagle dogs by three different observers with different levels of expertise in ultrasonography, to determine the variability of adrenal gland measurements. Of these, 484 measurements were included in the statistical analysi...
