Adrenal cysts are very rare, and their prevalence has been reported at 5-6% in the clinic. Adrenal cysts comprise 1% to 22% of incidentally discovered adrenal masses. Given the rarity of adrenal cysts and their asymptomatic occurrence in some patients, in this study, a patient with an adrenal cyst referred by weight gain is introduced.

A 49-year-old female patient referred with a complaint of abdominal swelling and gradual weight gain since a year ago. In ultrasound examinations, she was found to have an abdominal mass of unknown origin. In the computed tomography (CT) scan with and without contrast of the patient, the image of a 32 × 28 × 40 cm cyst with a thin wall and transparent contents in the pelvic area showed the appearance of an adrenal pseudocyst, which has caused a pressure effect on the right kidney and its displacement to the left retroperitoneum. According to laboratory tests and repeated visits, the patient underwent surgery with a possible diagnosis of adrenal mass. The patient's complaints were resolved after the surgery.

In general, the present study was related to adrenal cysts with uncommon manifestations. The diagnosis was made with the help of a CT scan before the surgery, and the patient's surgery was performed without any major or minor complications. However, if the centers are equipped with the appropriate skills and facilities, laparoscopic management of these patients is suggested.

Left Upper Quadrant (LUQ) cysts are often discovered by accident. Due to the lack of specific methods for the definitive diagnosis of premalignant lesions, the management of LUQ cysts is of great importance. In this regard, Awareness of differential diagnoses (such as adrenal and pancreatic cysts), the use of imaging techniques, and surgical indications are very important.

A 56-year-old woman with a history of the left adrenal cyst was referred to the Department of Surgery for LUQ pain after eating. Abdominal ultrasound and CT scan showed a 120 mm cystic lesion of the left adrenal gland. The patient was a candidate for laparoscopic surgery. During surgery and contrary to the initial diagnosis, a large cyst about 150 mm in the tail of the pancreas was detected by the involvement of the splenic vein and artery. Distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy were performed. Pathological examination revealed a mucinous tubulopapillary neoplasm with high-grade dysplasia along with an undifferentiated pancreatic carcinoma that was as small as 5 mm.

Current imaging techniques are not able to pinpoint the origin of large LUQ cysts, which can lead to errors in the management of malignant lesions of the pancreas or adrenal. Therefore, it seems that the use of the laparoscopic method not only has advantages such as less pain, reduced hospitalization period, and faster return to daily activities but also can help make the correct diagnosis during surgery and allow the surgeon to make the right decision.

Adrenal gland cysts with variable symptoms are rare cases of over-kidney clinical conditions. Adrenal cysts are accidentally identified, which is referred to as incidentaloma. Adrenal cysts are non-specific and show radiological findings and Detection of these cysts is usually random. In this article,  a patient with a simple adrenal cyst is introduced

The patient is a 33-year-old woman with a severe abdominal complaint, especially in the upper and lower abdomen, which began one day before the visit. The patient also mentioned three vomiting episodes. CT scan of a multicellular cystic mass in the upper left abdomen was observed with calcified nodules near the pancreatic tail, which, according to the radiologist, suggested a possible false cysts of the pancreas. With the diagnosis of adrenal mass, surgery was performed and symptoms were resolved after surgery.

Undoubtedly, the current elimination of the mass of the current treatment and the laparoscopic adrenalectomy, if available, is the golden standard. This was a simple adrenal cyst, which was associated with non-specific digestive symptoms. Preoperative diagnosis was performed by CT and ultrasound. A laparoscopic adrenalectomy was performed without complications. Pathology was a simple adrenal cyst. However, when managing an adrenal cyst, adrenocarcinoma and cystic pheochromocytoma should be considered before surgery

Although the prevalence of adrenal cysts is rare, intervention is necessary if they are large (size>4), symptomatic, functional, and potentially malignant. Laparoscopic management of these cysts in the form of decoration / extension, safe, effective, with minimal invasion, minimal blood loss and shorter hospital stay.
