ABSTRACT
Adrenal gland is an uncommon primary site in non-Hodgkin's malignant lymphoma and reports of primary bilateral adrenal lymphoma with its functional impairment are extremely rare. Only 15 cases were reported during past 50 years, and 11 of them expired within 6 months after diagnosis.A woman came to emergency room with lethargy, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Bilateral adrenal enlargement was found on a previous abdominal sonogram. Under the impression of acute adrenal insufficiency, intravenous hydrocortisone and vigorous saline infusion were given immediately. Later, the endocrine function tests revealed primary hypoadrenalism. The 1st CHOP chemotherapy was administered after tissue diagnosis. This report describes the clinical, radiologic, and pathologic findings in a 58-year-old woman with adrenal insufficiency due to primary bilateral adrenal lymphoma with the review of previous literatures.
