Primary adrenal lymphoma (PAL) is an infrequent malignant tumor, occurring in the bilateral adrenal glands as a mass in the majority of cases. The current study presents a case of bilateral primary adrenal diffuse large B cell lymphoma in a 52-year-old female patient, who presented with abdominal pain in the left lumbar region for ~2 weeks. Abdominal ultrasound examination and computed tomography scanning revealed a mass of 132×119×101 mm on the left adrenal gland and a mass of 53×27 mm on the right adrenal gland. A percutaneous biopsy was performed and histopathological examination further confirmed this lesion as diffuse large B cell lymphoma. The present study highlights the importance of early diagnosis of PAL, and performs a literature review of the subject.
原发性肾上腺淋巴瘤(PAL)是一种罕见的恶性肿瘤,多数情况下表现为双侧肾上腺的肿块。本研究报告了一例52岁女性双侧原发性肾上腺弥漫性大B细胞淋巴瘤病例,该患者左侧腰部腹痛约2周。腹部超声检查和计算机断层扫描显示,左侧肾上腺有一个132×119×101 mm的肿块,右侧肾上腺有一个53×27 mm的肿块。进行了经皮活检,组织病理学检查进一步证实该病变为弥漫性大B细胞淋巴瘤。本研究强调了PAL早期诊断的重要性,并对该主题进行了文献综述。
