Abstract
#Cysticlymphangiomas of the adrenal gland are rare, benign lesions of
#vascular origin with lymphatic differentiation. Most of these lesions
are discovered incidentally during radiological imaging studies, #surgery or autopsy. As radiologic techniques have improved, adrenal cysts
are discovered more often. We present a 49-year-old woman who was
referred to our hospital with a growing #cystic mass located in the left
suprarenal space causing left flank pain. The lesion had previously been
described as a simple left renal cyst observed by ultrasound follow-up
studies. Further characterization by magnetic resonance tomography (MRT)
displayed a 7.0 x 4.0 x 4.6 cm left adrenal septated cyst. A
#hormone secreting#tumor was excluded. An organ-sparing left #laparoscopicadrenalectomy was
performed. Histopathological examination revealed a
benign cystic lymphangioma of the left adrenal gland. The lining cells
showed strong immunoreactivity for CD31 and D2-40 (podoplanin).
Diagnostic features and surgical treatment of an uncommon lesion are
discussed.
