Giant adrenal cysts are an infrequent encounter in surgical practice. In this article we discuss a case of a 66 year old woman who presented with increasing abdominal girth and was subsequently found to have a large retroperitoneal mass on computed tomography (CT) scan. After a thorough endocrine work up was completed, the patient underwent an exploratory laparotomy with resection of a giant adrenal mass. This was ultimately found to be a haemorrhagic cyst. This case highlights the clinical features and management of this relatively rare finding.
巨大肾上腺囊肿在外科实践中并不常见。在本文中，我们讨论了一例66岁女性患者，该患者因腹围增大就诊，随后在计算机断层扫描（CT）中发现腹膜后有一个巨大肿块。在完成全面的内分泌检查后，患者接受了剖腹探查术，切除了巨大的肾上腺肿块。最终发现这是一个出血性囊肿。该病例突出了这一相对罕见病症的临床特征及治疗方法。
