Korean J Intern Med. 1990 Jul;5(2):108-11. doi: 10.3904/kjim.1990.5.2.108.

Abstract

Adrenal lymphangiectatic cyst is a very rare pathological and clinical disease entity, and its clinical silence and lack of characteristic symptoms and signs makes it difficult to diagnose preoperatively. We experienced a case of adrenal lymphangiectatic cyst, accompanied by severe refractory hypertension, which was corrected by surgical removal of the cyst. We report it with a review of the literature.
