title: [Adrenal cysts: presentation of 6 cases].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  We report six cases of adrenal cyst, a rare pathologic entity which poses diagnostic problems and therapeutic controversies.
  
  
  METHODS
  We report six cases of adrenal cysts in 4 female and 2 male patients ages 26 to 68 years. All cases underwent surgical treatment.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Pathologic studies showed that all were adrenal cysts without malignancy in any case.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Adrenal cysts are a rare disease of which correct diagnosis is difficult so that many times patients undergo surgery without a proper preoperative diagnosis. There are controversies about the right management of adrenal cysts.
