Infected pseudocyst of adrenal gland. Case report.
A large adrenal pseudocyst was found in a 58-year-old woman presenting with pain in the left hypochondrium and septicemia. Initial blood- and cystic fluid cultures all showed Staphylococcus aureus. After antibiotic therapy the cyst was removed. We have found no previous report of a bacteria-containing infected adrenal cyst in an adult.
