Abstract

A case of hydatid cyst in the adrenal gland is presented. Eight cases have been previously reported. The diagnosis of an adrenal cyst is usually incidental, and the diagnosis of hydatid cyst is seldom made preoperatively. Surgical excision of the gland including the cyst is the treatment of choice.
