During dissection of an aborted human foetus of 24 weeks gestation, a cavity filled with reddish brown fluid is encountered in the right adrenal gland. The cavity has fibrous wall devoid of recognizable lining cells. Pseudocysts of the adrenal gland are rare cystic lesions that arise within the gland and have fibrous wall devoid of recognizable lining cells. Cystic lesions of adrenal gland are reported in all age groups and categorized as any of the four major types: endothelial cysts, pseudocysts, epithelial cysts and parasitic cysts. In infants, adrenal cysts are usually of pseudocyst variety and thought to be secondary to neonatal adrenal hemorrhage.
