Rare giant adrenal cyst in pediatric patient

Abstract

Giant adrenal cysts represent very rare clinical cases that are normally incidentally discovered and occur extremely rarely among pediatric patients. This case reports a patient who presented with generalized intestinal complaints and GI bleeding. Ultrasound and MRI were performed and identified a giant right retroperitoneal cyst (9.2 cm × 10.5 cm x 11.7 cm). The patient underwent laparoscopic surgery with complete removal of the cyst from the right adrenal gland. Pathologic evaluation confirmed a benign adrenal cyst.
