Duodenal duplications are rare malformations with several anatomical varieties. The preferred treatment for duodenal duplications is complete removal when the location allows it without endangering nearby anatomical structures.
We report a case of a right-sided cystic adrenal mass, detected after the 21st week of gestation, associated with fetal macrosomia. The diagnosis of Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome was evoked. Prenatal sonography and magnetic resonance imaging did not allow establishing the origin of the suprarenal mass. The differential diagnosis of cystic neuroblastoma, pseudocystic adrenal haemorrhage, and adrenocortical macrocysts was discussed. A laparotomy was performed 2 weeks after birth due to the increasing size of the tumour and due to its possible malignant origin. Histological findings were haemorrhagic lesions without evidence of malignancy and adrenal cortical cytomegaly. The diagnosis of an adrenocortical macrocyst component of Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome was established.
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.
