A case of primary bilateral adrenal lymphoma with partial adrenal insufficiency

Unilateral or bilateral non-Hodgkin's lymphomas arising primarily in the ad renal glands are extremely rare. These lymphomas are usually present with l arge, bilateral adrenal masses with or without lymphadenopathy, and may be accompanied by adrenal insufficiency in some cases. A review of the literat ure indicates that patients with primary lymphoma of the adrenal glands usu ally do not have disease elsewhere, and if present, it is frequently extran odal. We report here an unusual case of primary bilateral adrenal lymphoma with partial adrenal insufficiency.
