title: [Laparoscopic resection of retroperitoneal epidermoid cyst on the right adrenal gland: a case report].
abstract: A woman in her sixties was found to have pain in her upper back. An adrenal tumor was found by abdominal sonography and she was referred to our hospital. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed right adrenal cystic tumor. We diagnosed the tumor as right adrenal cystic tumor, and performed surgical excision by laparoscopic surgery. The resected tissue was a gray surface cystic mass, weighing 20 g. Histopathological examination of excised tumors revealed an epidermoid cyst.
