“…Adrenal cysts are mostly asymptomatic. The presence of a cyst has been demonstrated during autopsy or radiological procedures (23,24). Adrenal cysts and hydatid cysts are encountered in 6-7% of patients with adrenal cysts (22,25).…”

Objective: Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a globally prevalent zoonotic disease. Methods: Demographic, clinical, laboratory, and follow-up data of patients between May 2009 and 2015 were retrospectively analyzed by screening data from a hospital automation system. Results: A total of 238 (females, n=139 and males, n=99) patients with a mean age of 40.6±20.58 years were included. Less than half (40.8%) of the patients were living in the countryside. Hepatic involvement of CE was most frequently (72.2%) seen. A majority (75.6%) of the patients were symptomatic, but abdominal pain was the most frequently seen symptom. For diagnosis, in all patients, imaging modalities were used, while in 66% of the patients, serological methods were also employed. The patients received both medical and surgical treatments (78.5%, n=187), only surgical treatment (10.5%, n=25), or only medical treatment (8.8%, n=21). Surgical treatment was performed for patients with hepatic (n=139/176, 80.6%), pulmonary (n=78/94, 82.9%), splenic (n=7/9; 77.7%), and mesenteric (n=6/7, 85.1%) cysts, and patients cases with brain, bone, muscle, omentum, bladder, and adrenal cysts had undergone surgical intervention. Conclusion: Publication of regional data is important in terms of epidemiological considerations and may aid in the formulation of standard treatment approaches. En sık tutulan organ karaciğer (%72,2) idi. Hastaların %75,6'sı semptomatik olup en sık görülen semptom karın ağrısı idi. Tanıda tüm hastalarda görüntüleme yöntemine başvurulurken, %66' sında serolojik yöntem de kullanılmıştı. Hastaların % 78,5'i (n=187) hem medikal hem cerrahi tedavi, %10,5'i (n=25) yalnız cerrahi tedavi, %8,8'i (n=21) ise yalnız medikal tedavi almıştı. Karaciğer tutulumu saptanan 173 hastanın %80,6'sına (n=139), akciğer tutulumu saptanan 94 hastanın %82,9'una (n=78), dalakta tutulum saptanan 9 hastanın %77,7' sine (n=7), mesenterde kist saptanan 7 hastanın %85,1'ine (n=6); beyin, kemik, kas, omentum, mesane ve sürrenalde kist saptananların ise tümüne cerrahi uygulandığı tespit edildi. Sonuç: Bölgesel verilerin yayınlanması, epidemiyolojik açıdan önem taşıdığı gibi standart tedavi algoritmalarının oluşturulmasına yardımcı olabilir.

“…Not only immunocompromised patients but also immunocompetent hosts can be infested. There are several case reports of hydatid disease caused by Echinococcus spp, and it is estimated to account for 6-7% of adrenal cysts [10][11][12]. Other causes include Leishmania spp, Trypanosoma spp, Microsporidia spp and amebic species which also can present as a cystic form [7].…”

We report here on a rare case of adrenal paragonimiasis that presented with an adrenal incidentaloma. A 52-year-old male presented with fatigue and weight loss. The laboratory findings revealed eosinophilia (8.5%) and an increased eosinophil count (910/ μL). The computed tomography scan showed 6.5 × 5 cm sized multilocular cystic mass in the right adrenal gland, which was nonfunctioning, and cystic lesions with variable sizes were also noted in the abdominal cavity. On the surgical field, whitish patches were spread out in the peritoneum, the omentum, the dome of the liver and the diaphragm. The right adrenal gland was replaced by a cystic mass filled with mucopurulent creamy materials. The pathologic findings revealed numerous eggs of Paragonimus spp. Also, the ELISA was positive for IgG paragonimus antibody. The adrenal gland can become infected by various microbial pathogens, including parasites, although it is relatively uncommon. However, in the case of a cystic adrenal mass with accompanying eosinophilia in an endemic area, clinicians should consider the possibility of parasitic infection. (Endocrinol Metab 26:97-100, 2011)
