case_images: A unilocular mass sized 11.7 x 9.3 x 6.6 cm with 1.0430 cm3 total volume was revealed in close relevance to the pancreas but with the origin from the left adrenal gland and was excised within healthy borders and sent for further pathologic examination (Figures 2(a) and 2(b)).

case_images: The search terms employed were "huge adrenal pseudocyst" and "adrenal pseudotumour." From 33 initially published articles in the period 2006-2017, we spotted 21 fully documentated cases according to PRISMA Statement guidelines (Figure 4). 16 articles were in English, 2 articles were in Chinese, 2 were in Spanish, and 1 article was in German.

case_images: The ratio between men and women was 1  :  1.2, while the median age appears to be 47.5 (SD 16.699; P=0.200) (Figure 5(a)). The median volume of pseudocysts was estimated to be 2.8126 cm3 ranging from 0.1250 cm3 to 9.86 cm3 (SD 2.7555; P=0.200) (Figure 5(b)).
