Management of primary adrenal lymphoma with intracranial invasion / 中华内分泌代谢杂志

ABSTRACT

Primary adrenal lymphoma (PAL) is a rare extranodular lymphoma. It is subject to misdiagnosis due to atypical clinical and imaging features. Histopathology is required to establish the diagnosis. Patients often present to the Endocrinology Department upon revelation of adrenal incidentalomas by imaging. PAL is often accompanied by invasion of other tissues and organs, with a high mortality rate and a poor prognosis. In this paper, the clinical features of a patient with primary adrenal lymphoma and intracranial invasion were summarized, and the pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment of this disease were reviewed.
