Abstract

Primary lymphoma of both adrenal glands in a 59-year-old man is reported. The patient presented with fever and weight loss for 5 months. Computed Tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen revealed bilateral adrenal masses. Opened biopsy at right adrenal gland was done and immunostaining histologic report revealed large cell type of malignant lymphoma, whereas the bone marrow aspiration was negative. After initiation of chemotherapy, the patient developed febrile neutropenia, which was complicated by pneumonia and expired shortly thereafter. Literature about imagings of primary adrenal lymphoma was reviewed.
