Managing a Large-Size Adrenal Cyst by Hand-Assisted Laparoscopic Surgery in a Young Male

Adrenal cysts are not common and are most often non-functional and asymptomatic. Most of these cysts are found incidentally. These lesions exhibit a broad histomorphologic spectrum and may vary from benign cysts to malignant cystic neoplasms. Our patient was a 21-year male who presented with abdominal discomfort and epigastric pain and was diagnosed with left adrenal cyst on ultrasound, which was later confirmed by CT scan.
