Primary adrenal lymphoma is an extremely rare condition. We describe a case of bilateral adrenal lymphoma in a man aged 55 years who was admitted to our hospital. He had a 3-month history of left flank pain, nausea and vomiting with weight loss. A CT scan at a private hospital revealed bilateral large adrenal masses; the patient was referred to our centre based on these findings. He was evaluated for pheochromocytoma by an endocrinology team; however, all findings were negative. In addition, a cosyntropin stimulation test indicated adrenal insufficiency. A Trucut biopsy of the adrenal gland revealed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the adrenal glands, and the patient responded extremely well to chemotherapy.
原发性肾上腺淋巴瘤是一种极其罕见的疾病。我们报告一例55岁男性双侧肾上腺淋巴瘤病例,该患者入住我院。他有3个月的左侧腰痛、恶心、呕吐伴体重减轻病史。一家私立医院的CT扫描显示双侧肾上腺有巨大肿块;基于这些检查结果,患者被转诊至我院。内分泌团队对他进行了嗜铬细胞瘤评估;然而,所有检查结果均为阴性。此外,促肾上腺皮质激素刺激试验表明存在肾上腺功能不全。肾上腺组织芯针活检显示肾上腺弥漫性大B细胞淋巴瘤,该患者对化疗反应非常良好。
