Adrenal cysts are rarely seen lesions. Most are asymptomatic and less than 10 cm. Adrenal cysts, most of which are diagnosed incidentally, can be diagnosed more by wide usage of diagnostic imaging methods. Symptoms appear when they grow to a large size causing pain or gastrointestinal disturbance or become palpable. In this article, a case of a large left adrenal cyst, 12 cm diameter was causing abdominal pain in a 20-year-old female patient subsequently removed totally by surgical excision with adrenalectomy is presented and treatment modalities was discussed.
肾上腺囊肿是罕见的病变。大多数无症状，直径小于10厘米。肾上腺囊肿大多是偶然诊断出来的，随着诊断成像方法的广泛应用，其诊断率更高。当囊肿长大到引起疼痛或胃肠道不适或可触及到时，就会出现症状。本文介绍了一例直径12厘米的左侧巨大肾上腺囊肿导致一名20岁女性患者腹痛，随后通过肾上腺切除术完全切除的病例，并讨论了治疗方式。
