[Case report of an adrenal hemorrhagic pseudocyst. Literature review].
Cysts and pseudocysts of the adrenal gland are usually discovered fortuitously, either on clinical examination or on the occasion of a radiological check-up for a non specific symptomatology. Their diagnosis rests on several examinations such as intravenous pyelography, ultrasounds, computerized tomography or arteriography. The final diagnosis relies on the histological examination of removed material. Surgery is systematically advocated as the actual nature of the tumor cannot be established preoperatively.
