Adrenal cysts (AC) are rare, particularly in the newborn period. Almost all ACs in newborns were diagnosed on exploratory laparotomy or at autopsy. We report a newborn with an AC that was diagnosed after an exploratory laparotomy due to its rare presentation. This case shows that ACs should be considered in the differential diagnosis of an abdominal mass in the newborn period.

This case report describes a 53-year old man with Cushing's syndrome due to Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) independent bilateral adrenocortical macronodular hyperplasia (AIMAH). His plasma cortisol showed no diurnal rhythm and was unsuppressable by high-dose dexamethasone. Plasma ACTH was undetectable and did not respond to corticotrophin-releasing hormone. The aetiology of this rare disease remains uncertain. The treatment is based on bilateral adrenalectomy.
