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.

Los quistes de suprarrenal son raros y aún más los pseudoquistes hemorrágicos, los que generalmente son entidades no sospechadas y que pueden presentarse con datos sugestivos de abdomen agudo. Algunos de estos pueden llegar a desarrollar ruptura con la consiguiente hemorragia retroperitoneal e incluso la muerte. Presentamos el caso de una paciente con un pseudoquiste suprarrenal hemorrágico, con un cuadro clínico sugestivo de apenaicitis.
