Laparoscopic management of an adrenal cyst – A case report

Adrenal cysts are generally rare clinical entity, but due to advances in imaging diagnostic methods, detection incidental cases are increasing. Therefore, discussions about the therapeutic management of these cases are more numerous, due to the growing number of cases. We present a case of a 29-year-old woman who has had complaints of headaches and right low back pain in the last week. She had a history of high blood pressure in the past 6 months. Clinical examination was essentially normal. Routine blood investigations including a workup for pheochromocytoma was normal. CT abdomen and pelvis showed 8x8x8cm cyst in the right adrenal gland. We decided to perform a laparoscopic excision of the adrenal cyst and successfully excised the adrenal cyst, fully saving the adrenal gland. Laparoscopic excision of the adrenal cyst seems to be the best recommended treatment option for these pathologies. The probability of recurrence after surgical excision is low.
