Abstract
A 46-year-old man developed suspected adrenal metastases white on cypr oterone and goserelin therapy for prostatic carcinoma. He underwent la paroscopic adrenalectomy for, what proved histologically, to be a beni gn haematogenous cyst. Clinicians should be aware that adrenal imaging abnormalities in patients on cyproterone acetate could be related to benign, possibly drug-related changes rather than metastatic disease. If excision biopsy is required, laparoscopic adrenalectomy should be c onsidered.
