Giant symptomatic adrenal cyst in a patient with an ectopic kidney.

A drenal cysts are rare, with an incidence varing from 0.06% to 0.18% in an autopsy series. Most are asymptomatic and found incidentally. They may cause long-standing symptoms because of pressure on the stomach and colon, or the clinical course may be sudden and severe due to hemorrhage inside the cyst or rupture of the cyst. The cysts most frequently found in the adrenal gland are pseudocysts and endothelial, epithelial and parasitic cysts. We report a case of adrenal pseudocyst that occurred with a congenital renal anomaly to point out that adrenal cysts must be suspected when a cystic lesion is found in the kidney area in a patient with an ectopic kidney.
