ObjectivesAlthough primary adrenal lesions and metastases are most commonly encountered, de novo cysts of the adrenal gland can occasionally occur.MethodsWe analyzed the pathology archives at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania for diagnoses of cystic lesions of the adrenal gland between 1998 and 2020. Patient demographics and clinical information were extracted, and pathology slides and stains, as appropriate, were analyzed. The literature between 1998 and 2020 was also searched for large case series involving cystic adrenal lesions.ResultsWe found 18 cystic lesions of the adrenal gland in our archives, categorized as pseudocysts (7), endothelial cysts (5), mesothelial cysts (2), mature teratoma (1), cystic adrenal cortical adenoma (1), cystic pheochromocytoma (1), and cystic metastasis (1). The mean age at time of diagnosis was 52.3 years, and the mean size of the cysts was 6.0 cm. There was a slight female predilection, and cysts were more likely to be found on the left side. All lesions were incidental findings. The cystic metastasis was clear cell renal cell carcinoma. Our findings were also compared with those found in the literature published within the same timeframe.ConclusionsAdrenal cysts are rare entities. Our findings are concordant with other large studies and provide additional cases to the existing literature. In addition, our literature search expands the possible differential diagnoses for cystic lesions arising in the adrenal gland.
