Urology. 2009 May;73(5):997-8. doi: 10.1016/j.urology.2008.11.019. Epub 2009 Jan 23.

Abstract

Adrenal pseudotumors can have many origins. We report the case of a gastric subcardial diverticulum misdiagnosed as a left adrenal cystic lesion on magnetic resonance imaging. A retrospective study of a previous computed tomography scan detected a previously unnoticed gastric diverticulum. The embryology, clinical aspects, and explanation of the misdiagnosis are exposed.
