The literature on adrenal gland tumour in HIV-infected patients is scarce. We report a 46-year-old Malay man with HIV and Hepatitis C infection presenting with a large nonfunctioning adrenal tumour. Computed tomography showed a large right adrenal tumour with heterogeneous enhancement and central necrosis. A high index of suspicion of a malignant tumour or pheochromocytoma led us to surgical removal of the adrenal gland. In this case report, we highlight important features to look for during pre-op evaluation of a large adrenal mass. Appropriate action should be taken when there is a suspicion of a pheochromocytoma or malignancy.
关于HIV感染患者肾上腺肿瘤的文献很少。我们报告了一名46岁的马来男性,他感染了HIV和丙型肝炎,患有一个大型无功能肾上腺肿瘤。计算机断层扫描显示右侧肾上腺有一个大型肿瘤,增强不均匀且有中央坏死。高度怀疑是恶性肿瘤或嗜铬细胞瘤促使我们对肾上腺进行手术切除。在本病例报告中,我们强调了在大型肾上腺肿块术前评估中应注意的重要特征。当怀疑有嗜铬细胞瘤或恶性肿瘤时应采取适当行动。
