[Adrenal gland cyst. Report of one case and review of the literature].
OBJECTIVE
To report one case of adrenal gland cyst in a patient presenting with lower urinary tract symptoms. The diagnosis and therapeutic aspects are discussed.


METHODS
Diagnostic studies included ultrasound, KUB x-ray, CT scan and fine needle aspiration.


RESULTS
Conservative treatment was chosen after the diagnosis of uncomplicated adrenal gland cyst with oligosymptomatic obstructive uropathy.


CONCLUSIONS
The reliability of diagnostic tests (radiological and cytological) for adrenal cysts leave surgical treatment for symptomatic tumors and complicated cases; an incidental finding does not justify surgery.
