A 23-year-old man presented with high fever and left abdominal pain. Ultrasonography, CT scan and angiography visualized a left adrenal cyst. Cyst fluid obtained preoperatively by percutaneous needle puncture under ultrasonographic guidance was purulent, and had a higher level of aldosterone, and lower level of amylase than the plasma. These findings suggested that this cyst originated from the adrenal gland. Histopathological examination of the surgically removed specimen confirmed the adrenal pseudocyst.
