Sumario:Cystic adrenal tumors are rare with an incidence of approximately 0.06% in the general population. Four main histological types are distinguished: Endothelial cysts of lymphangiomatous or angiomatous origin, pseudocysts, epithelial cysts and cysts of parasitic origin. Surgery is recommended for signs of complications, suspicion of malignancy and large size. In other cases, simple surveillance can be proposed. We report here a case of a lymphangiomatous endothelial cyst of the adrenal gland. The objective is to recall the clinical characteristics and to specify the diagnostic contribution of imaging as well as the therapeutic modalities of this entity.
