Cysts of the suprarenal gland, classified as parasitical cysts, epithelial cysts, endothelial cysts and pseudocysts are uncommon. We report a case of pseudocysts of the suprarenal gland. Clinical signs consisted of flank pain and palpable mass. Urography, ultrasonography and computed tomography were essential for diagnosis. Treatment consisted of surgical extirpation, as percutaneous needle aspiration entails high rate of recurrences.
