[Bilateral primary adrenal lymphoma: an unusual presentation]. / Linfoma suprarrenal primario bilateral: una presentación inusual.

A case of primary adrenal bilateral non-Hodgking lymphoma, with depressed adrenal reserve is presented. This rare neoplasm causes rapid evolution and fatal outcome in most cases. In our patient, lethal outcome was associated with severe hypercalcemia and refractary hypotension. Many other complications are due to tumoral lysis syndrome associated with high steroid doses in adrenal insufficiency. This rare entity must be included in the differencial diagnosis of adrenal masses, uni or bilateral, because early diagnostic is important for preventing complications, potentially lethals and for improving survival. Image thecnics and ultrasound-guided or computed-tomography-guided FNA, are best diagnostic methods, but in many cases, definitive diagnostic is obtained by necropsy.
