Abstract
We report a case of a non functioning cystic adrenal mass. It was incidenta lly found in an abdominal ultrasound carried out for unrelated symptoms. Ac cording to the classification of adrenal cysts it is a multilocular pseudoc yst with wall fibrosis and calcification. The pseudocyst lining expresses F actor VIII suggesting a vascular origin.
