Imaging tests showed bilateral suprarenal mass and left renal cysts. After underwent two retroperitoneal laparoscopic adrenal gland tumor separately, they were all proved to be both the multilocular bronchogenic cyst located in bilateral adrenal gland by histopathological examination. Conclusions: This report confirms the bronchogenic cyst that can be involved bilateral joint in the adrenal gland.
