We report on 2 newborns with adrenal cysts who were treated successfully with an operation. One patient had been well after birth with no adrenal insufficiency. However, 2 large and 2 small cysts were found, all of which were attached to the adrenal gland without a clear vascular stalk. The other patient had adrenal cortical insufficiency. His mother had had gestational diabetes and hypertension during pregnancy. The adrenal cyst was partially resected. Both patients were in good condition 5 years postoperatively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
