Adrenal cysts are uncommon. They may be fatal if they hemorrhage and are not rapidly diagnosed. Most adrenal cysts are small and asymptomatic. When they are symptomatic, it is usually because the cyst has enlarged, causing flank discomfort, gastrointestinal complaints, and hemorrhage. Occasionally, a palpable mass may be found. It is thought that hemorrhage occurs secondary to trauma or some toxic or infectious process. The author describes a case in which a previously healthy man had a sudden hemorrhage within a benign adrenal cyst with infarction of the kidney. A discussion of adrenal cysts follows.
肾上腺囊肿并不常见。如果发生出血且未得到迅速诊断，可能会致命。大多数肾上腺囊肿较小且无症状。当出现症状时，通常是因为囊肿增大，导致侧腹不适、胃肠道症状和出血。偶尔，可触及肿块。一般认为出血继发于创伤或某些毒性或感染性过程。作者描述了一例病例，一名既往健康的男性良性肾上腺囊肿突然出血并伴有肾梗死。随后将对肾上腺囊肿进行讨论。
