“…Treatment options for adrenal cyst vary from marsupialization, incision and drainage (which are historical and abandoned), ultrasound guided percutaneous drainage when diagnosis is established and complete excision of the cyst [9,15,16]. Surgical intervention is indicated when size of the cyst exceed 10cm, in presence of symptoms, endocrine abnormalities, hemorrhage and malignancy [4,17].…”

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

“…In our case, patient was symptomatic and the size of cyst was more than 10cm. Laparoscopic or open adrenalectomy is the current gold standard in the management of adrenal cyst [16]. Considering the size of the cyst and chances of malignancy, open surgical exploration and adrenalectomy was offered to the patient.…”

“…Most of them are asymptomatic lesions but when they have a large size, the symptoms include abdominal or flank pain and gastrointestinal symptoms. Rarely they can be presented with hypovolemic shock caused by bleeding inside the cyst (4) or sepsis caused by infection of a pseudocyst (5).…”

Introduction: Adrenal gland cysts are relatively rare cystic lesions, which are usually discovered incidentally with the widespread use of radiological imaging techniques.Case report: We reported a clinical case of a 36-year -old woman who presented with a 6 months history of right flank discomfort. The contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography revealed a well-circumscribed cystic lesion with a capsule in the Morrison's pouch measuring 57 x 51 mm. On abdominal magnetic resonance imagining (MRI), the cystic lesion exhibited a hypointensity on T-1 weighted images and hyperintensity on T-2 weighted images. Surgery was decided because of lesion size and doubts concerning its etiology. The final histopathological diagnosis was an epithelial cyst of the adrenal gland.In summary, epithelial adrenal cysts are uncommon retroperitoneal lesions. In our case, open adrenalectomy was performed and the prognosis was excellent.

“…Adrenal cysts are rare lesions, with an incidence on autopsy ranging from 0.06-0.18% [1][2][3] . Because adrenal cysts are generally asymptomatic and non-functional, most of them are diagnosed incidentally [2,4,5] . Recent improvements in imaging modalities and their increased use in patient evaluation have increased the incidence rate of incidentally detected adrenal cysts [4,6] .…”

Percutaneous thermal ablation is a minimally invasive treatment for liver, kidney, lung, bone, and thyroid tumors. This treatment also has been used to treat adrenal tumors in patients, but there is no evidence for the efficacy of thermal ablation of adrenal cysts. The present study was performed to analyze the experience of a single center with percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of huge adrenal cysts and to evaluate its efficacy. The present study enrolled all patients who underwent percutaneous RFA for unilateral adrenal cysts from 2019 to 2021. All patients underwent USG-guided percutaneous aspiration of cystic fluid, followed by RFA. A total nine patients with huge adrenal cysts were included in this study. All of them underwent technically successful percutaneous RFA, with no immediate complication. Follow-up CT 3 months after RFA showed that one patient had a poor response. She underwent secondary RFA with resulting in a good response. After a median follow-up period of 17.2 months, eight patients showed no evidence of recurrence. The patient, who showed evidence of recurrence, refused any other treatment and has been under regular surveillance. None of the nine patients developed adrenal insufficiency during the follow-up period. In conclusion, percutaneous RFA is a safe and effective minimally invasive treatment for huge adrenal cystic masses, suggesting that percutaneous RFA may be a good alternative option in selected patients.
