We report the case of a 55-year-old male with a large left adrenal mass that conformed to the normal shape of the adrenal gland. Percutaneous biopsy revealed tuberculosis and, following anti-tuberculosis therapy, there was a >75% decrease in the size of the mass. In large tumefactions of the adrenal glands in which a normal adrenal contour is maintained, a percutaneous biopsy may obviate the need for major intervention.
我们报告了一例55岁男性病例，其左肾上腺有一个较大肿块，该肿块符合肾上腺的正常形态。经皮活检显示为结核病，抗结核治疗后，肿块大小缩小了75%以上。对于肾上腺的大肿块且肾上腺轮廓保持正常的情况，经皮活检可能无需进行大的干预。
