The incidentally discovered asymptomatic adrenal tuberculous mass mimicking malignancy.

ABSTRACT

Tuberculous adrenal mass without any tuberculous changes in other sites is a rare entity. In this study we describe such a case. A male patient of 47 years with 6 months history of anorexia and weakness was presented. Ultrasonography and computed tomography revealed a mass in the right adrenal gland. It was mistaken as a malignant neoplasm and the diagnosis was confirmed by surgical exploration.
