Abstract:
Cysts of the adrenal gland are often misinterpreted and misdiagnosed because of their rarity. There are few reports in the literature of adrenal cyst in children, especially in the newborn. Adrenal cysts in the newborn are usually of the pseudocyst due to adrenal hemorrhage and have tendency to become adherent to surrounding structure, mimicking malignant tumor. We report a cases of pyogenic adrenal cyst in the newborn which was suspected malignancy because of adherence to adjacent organ.
