title: Cost-reductive retroperitoneal excision of large adrenal pseudocyst: a case report and review of the literature.
abstract: We report a case of a non-functioning cystic adrenal mass. It was detected on an abdominal ultrasound carried out for right flank pain in a 45-year-old lady. Biochemical parameters like 24-hour urinary free cortisol, catecholamines and serum potassium level were normal. Retroperitoneoscopic excision of the large cystic mass was done by using our cost-reductive technique as previously described. Histopathology turned out to be a pseudocyst with wall fibrosis and calcification.
