Adrenal pseudocysts are rare cystic masses that arise from the adrenal gland and which are
usuallynon-functional and asymptomatic. Adrenal pseudocysts consist of a fibrous wall without an
epithelial or endotheliallining. We report a case of a young woman with a voluminous abdominal
mass revealed by a left hypochondrium pain. Histological examination revealed an adrenal
pseudocyst. Surgery is required for symptomatic cases in order to relieve the symptoms and in cases
of uncertain diagnosis.
Keywords: adrenal gland, pseudocysts.
