Primary adrenal lymphoma (PAL) is a relatively rare disease entity with only fewer than 200 cases reported till date. PAL frequently presents with bilateral adrenal involvement and shows male preponderance. We here present a case of PAL in a 65-year-old female with a relatively uncommon unilateral adrenal involvement. The present case depicts that F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography had decisive role in the treatment management of this patient suggesting its potential utility in the management of this rare disease.
原发性肾上腺淋巴瘤(PAL)是一种相对罕见的疾病实体,迄今为止报道的病例不足200例。PAL常表现为双侧肾上腺受累,且男性居多。我们在此报告一例65岁女性的PAL病例,其表现为相对罕见的单侧肾上腺受累。本病例表明,F-氟脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描在该患者的治疗管理中起了决定性作用,提示其在这种罕见疾病的管理中具有潜在应用价值。
