Abstract :

Adrenal cysts are rare lesions representing approximately 1–2% of adrenal incidentalomas.(1) Majority of these rare lesions are benign. Rarely, pheochromocytoma and adrenal malignant masses can present as cystic lesions and can occasionally be difficult to distinguish from benign cysts. Histologically, adrenal cysts are subdivided into pseudocysts, endothelial cysts, epithelial cysts and parasitic cysts.(2) Although most adrenal cysts are benign and hormonally non-functional lesions, some can have ambiguous imaging appearances and mimic malignant adrenal neoplasms. On the other hand, the actual malignant neoplasms could undergo cystic transformation. Due to the disease’s rarity, the likelihood of malignancy, and the lack of specific guidelines, the management of adrenal cysts is always challenging especially in a young person. (3) Surgery is recommended in cases of large size, signs of complication and suspicion of malignancy. Here we discuss the case of a leftsided benign adrenal multiloculated cyst in a young man, presenting to our department. The objective is to recall the clinical characteristics of the case and significant contribution of diagnostic imaging.
