Atypical appearance of adrenal pseudocysts

Abstract

We report 2 cases of adrenal pseudocysts that resulted from hemorrhage into a normal adrenal gland and that showed atypical imaging features on computerized tomography and ultrasonography. The presence of a solid component within the mass and/or central calcification, which is unlike the typical features of adrenal pseudocyst, suggested a diagnosis of adrenal tumor. The solid component diminished on computerized tomography in 26 days in case 1 and in 16 days in case 2, which seemed to represent resolving hematoma. The atypical appearance of these adrenal pseudocysts, especially the changeable pattern of the solid component within the mass, should be kept in mind to ensure a correct preoperative diagnosis.
