Abstract

Adrenal cysts are rare entities, and hemorrhagic pseudocysts are even less frequent. Generally, they are unsuspected during first patient evaluation and can suggest acute abdomen. We present the case of a hemorrhagic pseudocyst with sudden onset of abdominal pain and features compatible with acute appendicitis.
