Abstract

Adrenal cystic masses are rare lesions. Lymphangiomas occur mostly in childhood and adrenal localization is very rare. It may reach large dimensions asymptomatically, while it may be symptomatic depending on size and localization. Treatment is controversial. Some authors recommend surgical resection, while some authors advocate the aspiration of nonfunctioning and asymptomatic cysts with little suspicion of malignancy. A 34-year-old female patient was referred to our clinic due to a rapidly growing cystic mass in the left adrenal gland. The hormonal activity was not detected. A transperitoneal laparoscopic left adrenalectomy was achieved and during operation, cyst integrity was preserved. Immunohistochemistry revealed an adrenal lymphangioma. The patient completed the 4- year disease-free follow-up period. Adrenal cystic lymphangiomas should be kept in mind especially in rapidly growing cystic adrenal masses, and laparoscopy should be chosen as the first step for resection.

Özet

Adrenal kistik kitleler nadir lezyonlardır. Lenfanjiyomlar çoğunlukla çocuklukta görülür ve adrenal lokalizasyon çok nadirdir. Asemptomatik olarak büyük boyutlara erişebilirken, boyut ve lokalizasyona bağlı olarak semptomatik de olabilir. Optimal tedavi tartışmalıdır. Bazı yazarlar cerrahi rezeksiyon önermekte iken, bazı yazarlar ise az miktarda malignite şüphesi nedeniyle, işlevsel olmayan ve asemptomatik kistlerin aspirasyonunu savunmaktadır. 34 yaşında kadın hasta, sol adrenal bezde hızlı büyüyen kistik kitle nedeniyle kliniğimize başvurdu. Hormonal aktivite tespit edilmedi. Transperitoneal laparoskopik sol adrenalektomi kist bütünlüğü korunarak yapıldı. Patolojik inceleme sonucu adrenal lenfanjiyom tanısı kondu. Hasta 4 yıllık takip süresini sorunsuz tamamladı. Özellikle hızlı büyüyen kistik adrenal kitlelerde adrenal kistik lenfanjiom akılda tutulmalı ve rezeksiyon için ilk adım olarak laparoskopi seçilmelidir.
