Adrenal pseudocyst: a unique case with adrenal renal fusion, mimicking a cystic renal mass

Ann Diagn Pathol. 2004 Apr;8(2):87-90. doi: 10.1053/j.anndiagpath.2004.01.005.

Abstract

We describe an unusual adrenal pseudocyst mimicking radiologically and clinically renal mass. The cyst measured 12 cm in diameter and had a fibrotic external envelope that was fused with the renal capsule. The possible diagnostic pitfalls encountered in this case are discussed.
