Cystic lymphangiomatous lesions of the adrenal gland: A clinicopathological study of 37 cases including previously unreported cysts with papillary endothelial proliferation.

In conclusion, adrenal lymphangiomatous cysts are usually asymptomatic, incidentally diagnosed lesions with a female predominance. They may imitate other adrenal tumors, both radiologically and clinically. Despite being non-functioning lesions, they should be considered as a possible cause of pseudopheochromocytoma. Although most adrenal lymphangiomatous cysts seem to be non-neoplastic, vascular abnormalities (malformations or lymphangiectasias), those with papillary endothelial proliferations may represent true neoplastic lesions.
