| A cyst is an abnormal growth consisting of a closed sac filled with fluid or solid material. Cysts form for a variety of reasons, depending to some degree on the tissue involved. Some cysts that form in the adrenal glands are caused by bacterial infections or by parasites. Causes & Development The cause is usually unknown. Signs & Symptoms The most common type is the sebaceous cyst. They are usually rounded, non-tender and of varying size. Any redness, tenderness, or increased temperature of skin over area may indicate an infection. Grayish white, cheesy material from the cyst (if drained or squeezed) may have a bad odor. |
