Primary bilateral non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) of the adrenal gland is very rare. Herein, we report the case of a high-grade lymphoma of both adrenal glands that was found in a 38-year-old patient. The patient was admitted because of an ultrasound which demonstrated large bilateral adrenal masses. The computed tomography scan-guided biopsy of both adrenal glands suggested the diagnosis of bilateral adrenal NHL. Primary bilateral adrenal NHL should be considered as the differential diagnosis of adrenal masses, especially if they are bilateral and well defined with rapid growth in imaging. Early diagnosis and treatment might dramatically affect the clinical outcome.
原发性双侧肾上腺非霍奇金淋巴瘤(NHL)非常罕见。在此,我们报告一例38岁患者双侧肾上腺高级别淋巴瘤的病例。患者因超声检查发现双侧肾上腺有大肿块而入院。双侧肾上腺的计算机断层扫描引导下活检提示双侧肾上腺NHL的诊断。原发性双侧肾上腺NHL应被视为肾上腺肿块的鉴别诊断,尤其是当肿块为双侧且在影像学上边界清晰且生长迅速时。早期诊断和治疗可能会显著影响临床结局。
