Primary adrenal lymphoma (PAL) is an extremely rare condition. We describe here, a case of bilateral adrenal lymphoma in a 62-year-old man. He later developed subcutaneous masses on the hand and the leg. Fine-needle aspiration cytology from the adrenals and the soft tissue swellings led to a diagnosis of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Histopathological examination from the lesion on the leg, confirmed the diagnosis to be B-cell NHL. The case highlights the cytomorphological findings of this unusual case. Awareness of this entity is essential to differentiate it from other common causes of adrenal enlargement and formulate an appropriate treatment.
原发性肾上腺淋巴瘤（PAL）是一种极为罕见的病症。我们在此描述一例62岁男性双侧肾上腺淋巴瘤病例。该患者随后手部和腿部出现皮下肿块。对肾上腺及软组织肿胀部位进行细针穿刺细胞学检查后诊断为非霍奇金淋巴瘤（NHL）。对腿部病变进行组织病理学检查，确诊为B细胞NHL。该病例突出了这一罕见病例的细胞形态学表现。认识到这一实体对于将其与肾上腺增大的其他常见原因相鉴别并制定恰当的治疗方案至关重要。
