Spontaneous rupture and hemorrhage of adrenal pseudocyst presenting with acute abdomen and shock

Adrenal gland pseudocysts are not common conditions, and
most of them are nonfunctional and asymptomatic. However,
large pseudocysts may causes abdominal discomfort and have
compressive effects on adjacent organs. They may rupture
spontaneously or after trauma, and lead to retroperitoneal hemorrhage
and surgical emergency. Herein, we report a case of
21-year-old female who presented with acute abdomen and
hemorrhagic shock due to spontaneous rupture of adrenal
pseudocyst. She was treated successfully by open surgery, removal
of adrenal pseudocyst and unilateral adrenalectomy
