  • Title: [Venous angiectatic malformation of the adrenal gland. Report of a case and review of the literature].
    Author: Bersi S.
    Journal: Minerva Med; 1985 Jul 14; 76(28-29):1357-64. PubMed ID: 3895046.
    Abstract:
    Ectasia of a left adrenal vein in a 64-year-old man is described. The "cyst" thus formed contained 500 ml of blood. Its wall had three layers and was lined with endothelium. The structure of the adrenal was unimpaired. The morphology was indicative of malformation of the vein wall rather than neoplasia. The interest of the case lies in the fact that removal of this rare abnormality resulted in the cure of stable arterial hypertension. The literature reveals other cases of adrenal "cysts" of various kinds associated with continuous or paroxysmal hypertension or adrenal hyperfunction, followed by regression after asportation on all occasions. A morphogenetic classification of adrenal cysts is proposed with notes on each form.
