abstract: Six patients with adrenal cysts, a rare disease, were treated. Among 5 patients undergoing operations, 4 had pseudocysts and one had epithelial cyst. Most of the patients had no symptoms. B-ultrasonography and CT scanning played a leading role in the diagnosis of the disease. The incidence, etiology, pathological classification and treatment of adrenal cysts are discussed.
