- Adrenal cysts of lymphatic origin: A clinical and pathological study of six cases and systematic literature review(2022) MARQUES-PIUBELLI, Mario L.; GONZALES, Eloiza Wilma Poma; GONCALVES, Victor Lucas; BALANCIN, Marcelo Luiz; BOTELHO, Maria Luiza A. A.; YAMAUCHI, Fernando Ide; ANDO, Sabrina de Mello; BRONDANI, Vania Balderrama; CHAMBO, Jose Luis; FRAGOSO, Maria Candida Barisson Villares; NOGUEIRA, Maria ClaudiaAdrenal cysts are rare, benign, and usually asymptomatic, being detected as an incidental finding on imaging methods. Adrenal Cysts of Lymphatic Origin (ACLO) and Adrenal Lymphangiomas (AL) are types of endothelial cyst and are the most prevalent subtype in this series. This study aims to present a single institutional experience of these rare cysts and compare their features with those found in the review of existing literature on ACLO and AL. Overall, thirteen cases of adrenal cysts were diagnosed and surgically excised during the study period, onto which we performed immunohistochemistry using a panel of antibodies (CD31, CD34, Pan Cytokeratin AE-1/AE3, Factor VII, D2-40, and ERG). Four cases of ACLO and two AL were found. The lesions predominantly affected right adrenal, and the majority of patients were middle-age females, of Caucasian ethnicity, and asymptomatic. In our literature review, we found 108 cases of ACLO/AL from 57 articles with similar sex and age distribution. The diagnosis and subclassification of adrenal cysts are challenging, and there is a significant overlapping between the definition of ACLO and AL.
