ABSTRACT
N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (Histoacryl(R)) is used to obtain hemostasis in gastric variceal bleeding. Known complications of Histoacryl(R) injection therapy include bleeding, perforation, stenosis, and embolism. We report a case of adrenal abscess as a very rare complication of Histoacryl(R) injection. A 40-year-old male with liver cirrhosis was admitted with acute gastric variceal bleeding. Sclerotherapy using Histoacryl(R) mixed with lipiodol (3 mL) was successful. Twenty-seven months later, he was readmitted complaining of left flank pain and a fever of 39degreesC. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) showed a heterogeneous enhancing solid and cystic mass (6.1x3.0 cm) at the left adrenal gland. A left adrenalectomy was performed and the pathological examination confirmed a Histoacryl(R)-related adrenal abscess. We present this case along with a brief review of the literature
