INTRODUCTION A primary hydatid cyst of the adrenal gland is still an exceptional localization. The adrenal gland is an uncommon site even in Morocco, where echinococcal disease is endemic. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a 64-year-old Moroccan man who presented with the unusual symptom of arterial hypertension associated with left flank pain. Computed tomography showed a cystic mass o...

UNLABELLED Cysts are a rare pathology of adrenal glands. As the development of new diagnostic techniques takes place, the occurrence of adrenal cystic lesions has been rapidly increasing. The majority of them are solid adrenal lesions, but localized fluid collections are also more frequently diagnosed. In case of solid adrenal lesions, there are straight indications for surgery, but on the othe...

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 ...

Hydatid cysts may be found in almost any part of the body, but most often they are found in the liver and lungs. Other organs that are occasionally affected include the brain, muscle, kidney, heart, pancreas, and adrenal and thyroid glands. We report a case of hydatid cyst of the adrenal gland.

The adrenal cyst is a rare disease that represents approximately 5% of discovered adrenal lesions, which are usually discovered incidentally. True adrenal cysts originate to cells from mesothelium. The potential of cyst adrenal to become malignant has been reported to be 7% and a radical excision of a potentially malignant mass are indicate. We report a case of a 48 year old woman that presente...

Hydatid cysts are a zoonotic disease that can involve many organs and tissues in the human body but primarily involve the liver and lungs. Of the main organs, adrenal glands are those seldom affected by hydatid cysts. The purpose of this study was to present a case with an incidentally detected hydatid cyst of the right adrenal gland on computed tomography, and a positive echincoccus IgG enzyme...

Introduction: Adrenal cysts are rare findings, with an age peak between the third and fifth decades of life. In adults, laparoscopic and retroperitoneoscopic approaches to these cysts have been described. In pediatric patients, however, reports of this pathology and its management are limited to a small number of case reports. Case Report: A cystic mass was discovered in the left upper abdomina...

BACKGROUND AND AIM The cysts may potentially affect any organ; adrenals cysts are rare. This is a review of the literature regarding adrenal cysts, focusing on children and young adults. GENERAL DATA Three major types have been described: pure cysts (endothelial, epithelial, and hemorrhagic or pseudocyst), parasitic (as hydatid) cysts and cystic part of a tumour (most frequent are neuroblasto...

a 64-year-old male presented with neurofibromatosis 1 and cushing’s syndrome. clinically he was over weight, depressed with extensive skin bruising and hypertension. his 24 hours urinary metanephrines, urinary 5hiaa, gut peptides and chromgranin levels were normal. his renal function and renal mri scan was also normal. his cortisol failed to suppress on overnight dexamethsone suppression test. ...

A 44-year-old patient presented with two-year history of (R) lumbar pain. There was a strong history of childhood animals' contact, including dogs. A brother had multiple hydatid cysts requiring surgery. Initial ultrasound showed a large (R) adrenal mass measuring 10 × 9 × 8 cm. Subsequent CT scan confirmed a heavily calcified cyst in the (R) adrenal gland. Hormonal studies were normal. He had ...
