Adrenal pseudocyst in a hypertensive patient.
An adrenal "mass" was discovered radiologically during a hypertensive evaluation. Because of the patient's labile hypertension, the mass was interpreted as a pheochromocytoma. Only at operation was the cystic and benign nature of the lesion appreciated. Pathologically, it proved to be a simple pseudocyst.
