Summary.

We report on a 64-year-old patient with a huge adrenal pseudocyst. These are rare cystic lesions of the adrenal gland with an unclear etiology. Recent studies suggest that the majority of adrenal pseudocysts are of vascular origin. All cystic masses in the epigastric region have to be considered in the differential diagnosis. The treatment of choice is surgical removal.

Zusammenfassung.

Wir berichten über einen 64 jährigen Patienten mit einer monströsen adrenalen Pseudocyste. Dabei handelt es sich um seltene cystische Läsionen der Nebenniere, deren genaue Ätiologie noch unklar ist. Neuere Untersuchungen deuten jedoch darauf hin, daß ein Großteil der adrenalen Pseudocysten vasculärer Genese ist. Differentialdiagnostisch müssen alle cystischen Raumforderungen im Oberbauch in Erwägung gezogen werden. Die Therapie der Wahl ist die operative Entfernung.
