We present 7 patients (5 adult females and 2 neonate males) with adrenal cysts. The cysts included 1 hydatid, 1 lymphatic and 5 pseudocysts. Three cysts were diagnosed preoperatively and all were resected surgically. The existence of true epithelial cysts of the adrenal gland is doubted by many authors; the present series includes most types of adrenal cyst.
The condition of multiple breast duct papillomas although relatively common in adult women is not a well recognized clinical entity in adolescent females. The risk of adolescents with this condition developing carcinoma is presently unknown, although in adulthood it is regarded by some authorities as a precancerous condition. We report a case of a 14-year-old girl with such a lesion who remains well with no breast abnormalities 2 years after surgery. The clinicopathological features of the condition and the relevant literature are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
