Giant adrenal cysts represent rare clinical entities that are usually discovered incidentally. Here, we describe a patient who presented with nonspecific upper abdominal left pain. Imaging studies revealed a huge left adrenal cyst. Routine laboratory tests and endocrine function tests were all normal. The patient underwent surgery, and the cyst was completely removed with total adrenalectomy. Histological examination revealed a benign epithelial adrenal cyst.The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient had no evidence of recurrence during a 3-year follow-up. We discuss the diagnosis and management of adrenal cysts.
巨大肾上腺囊肿是罕见的临床病症，通常为偶然发现。在此，我们描述一名出现非特异性左上腹疼痛的患者。影像学检查发现一个巨大的左肾上腺囊肿。常规实验室检查和内分泌功能检查均正常。该患者接受了手术，囊肿通过肾上腺全切术被完全切除。组织学检查显示为良性肾上腺上皮囊肿。术后过程顺利，患者在3年随访期间无复发迹象。我们讨论了肾上腺囊肿的诊断和处理。
