Sažetak
Adrenal pseudocyst is a rare pathologic fi nding in paediatric population. They tend to be asymptomatic lesions and are usually
found sporadically in radiologic fi ndings. However, cysts larger than 5 cm in diameter can cause symptoms of compression on adjacent
organs and therefore surgical removal is needed. Regarding diff erential diagnosis, it is crucial to diff er a benign from malignant
lesion in paediatric population. We report a case of a 12-year-old girl who presented with acute abdominal pain and fever. She had
been diagnosed with a right abdominal cyst two years before and was routinely followed up through our outpatient clinic. Medial
laparotomy, surgical excision and drainage of the cystic lesion were performed. Histopathology examination reported a haemorrhagic
adrenal pseudocyst. Six-month follow up was uneventful.
