| Abstrakt: | Objectives: 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. |
