Adrenal pseudocyst: a unique case with adrenal renal fusion, mimicking a cystic renal mass.
We describe an unusual adrenal pseudocyst mimicking radiologically and clinically renal mass. The cyst measured 12 cm in diameter and had a fibrotic external envelope that was fused with the renal capsule. The possible diagnostic pitfalls encountered in this case are discussed.
