[Adrenal cysts].

Abstract

Suprarenal cysts may be clinically silent and discovered by chance, or they may present clinically if they attain marked dimensions by means of compression of surrounding formations. Examinations that lead to precise diagnosis are: direct abdominal X-ray integrated with scanning, echoscanning, urography and selective arterial and especially venous vasography. Two clinical cases that may be considered typical of the two varieties, true cyst and pseudo-cyst, are reported.
