“…AHC can apply pressure on the renal artery. This condition is called the Goldblatt phenomenon, and it can lead to hypertension [5 , 6 , 8 , 10] . AHC can exert pressure on the adrenal medulla, causing pheochromocytoma-like symptoms, such as headaches, palpitations, and hypertension.…”

“…Both definitive and differential diagnosis of the AHCD can be made by a combination of patient's history, blood tests for functional adrenal lesions, radiological studies, and serological tests [ 1 , 2 , 13 ]. Radiological instruments such as US, CT, and MRI usually provide enough information for differential diagnosis.…”

“…Some serological tests are often used in follow-up to detect recurrence disease. One of the two existing studies using 18F-FDG PET/CT to diagnose AHCD showed no significant FDG uptake, whereas the other demonstrated an increased FDG uptake [ 2 , 13 ]. Although 18F-FDG PET/CT has no role in the diagnosis of AHCD, the popularity of PET/CT for the differential diagnosis of tumors of this region continues to increase.…”

Hydatid Cyst of the Adrenal Gland: Is Radical Surgery Necessary for Recurrent Hydatid Disease?

Hydatid cyst disease caused by E. granulosus is a zoonotic disease that may involve many body tissues and organs, mainly liver. Adrenal glands are rarely involved even in regions where hydatid cyst disease is endemic. A limited number of studies have been reported on adrenal gland involvement by hydatid cyst disease. Herein, we aimed to report a recurrent case of adrenal hydatid cyst that was misdiagnosed as a hepatic hydatid cyst. A 16-year-old boy with a history of partial cyst excision and evacuation for perforated adrenal hydatid cyst disease three years ago presented to our outpatient clinic with nonspecific abdominal pain. Ultrasonography and computed tomography showed a lesion with an approximate size of 70 × 70 mm compatible with a hydatid cyst, which originated from the segment 5-6 of the liver and extended to the posterior-inferior direction. A surgical intervention was scheduled after a 2-week prophylactic albendazole treatment. During laparotomy using the old incision, it was noted that the cystic lesion that reportedly located in liver was actually a recurrent right adrenal cyst. As dense adhesions existed, the cystic lesion was excised en bloc with the right adrenal gland. As the lesion was totally removed without getting ruptured, albendazole was not administered at the postoperative period. No recurrence was observed at one-year follow-up.

“…Because adrenal cystic lesions are extremely rare, and most of them are detected incidentally[ 4 , 6 ], the real incidence of it is not known, but reports suggest 0.06% to 0.18% in some autopsy series with about 92% of these lesions being unilateral[ 4 , 6 , 7 ]. With regard to morphology and etiology, these cystic lesions are separated into two groups, non-neoplastic and neoplastic.…”

“…AHCs account for most of the parasitic cysts. Diagnosis of AHC disease can be made by visualization methods, such as US, CT and MRI, and also by serological tests such as indirect hemagglutination test (IHA) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (IgG, IgE)[ 6 ]. In the recent years, 18F-FDG PET/CT analyses are also used to exclude malignancy in adrenal lesions, as we’ve also applied in the case presented in this study.…”

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-linked immunosorbent assay test on top of a toxic multinodular thyroid goiter for which thyroidectomy was indicated.
