title: [Cysts and pseudocysts of the adrenal gland. Apropos of 3 surgically-treated patients].
abstract: Three observations including one cyst and two pseudocysts of the adrenals are reported. Such lesions are uncommon and are only detected fortuitously or because of poorly specified pains. Diagnosis, formerly based upon intravenous urography and arteriography, has largely benefited from echotomography and computed tomography. Endothelial cysts and pseudocysts account for most of these lesions. The possibility of malignancies justifies the systematic surgical approach.
