Adrenal Lymphangiomatous CYST with papillary and pseudopapillary endothelial proliferation and sinaptophysin positivity: A Case Report

Abstract

Benign adrenal cysts are rare lesions. Although they can cause some clinical symptoms such as abdominal distension and pain, they are mostly encountered incidentally. The most common are pseudocysts, endothelial, epithelial, and parasitic cysts. Endothelial cysts may be of vascular or lymphatic origin. In this case report, a unilocular lymphangiamotous adrenal cyst showing marked papillary and micropapillary proliferation and synaptophysin positivity is discussed in the light of current literature.

Keywords

Adrenal cyst, endothelial proliferation, lymphangiomatous cyst, synaptophysin
