Ten specimens of adrenal cyst resected during the period 1984-1999 were re-examined. Thorough examination of multiple sections and the use of immunohistochemistry allowed to change the recorded diagnosis in 8 cases: three epithelial cysts and five pseudocysts were redefined as endothelial cysts. All 10 cysts were of the endothelial type. A synthetic review of the current knowledge about the pathogenesis, the classification and the clinical aspects of this rare disease is presented.

Abstract
Ten specimens of adrenal cyst resected during the period 1984-1999 were re-examined. Thorough examination of multiple sections and the use of immunohistochemistry allowed to change the recorded diagnosis in 8 cases: three epithelial cysts and five pseudocysts were redefined as endothelial cysts. All 10 cysts were of the endothelial type. A synthetic review of the current knowledge about the pathogenesis, the classification and the clinical aspects of this rare disease is presented.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
