ABSTRACT
The causes of primary adrenal insufficiency(PAI) are varying, however, anti-phospholipid syndrome (APS) is a relatively rare one. PAI lacks unique clinical manifestations, so the confirmation of PAI was easily to be neglected by physicians. We report a case with abdominal pain as the first complaint, followed by multiple infections, thrombotic events, and aggravating fatigue. Through a series of the laboratory examination, medical imaging, and pathology examination, this patient was diagnosed as PAI caused by APS. Combining this report with literature review, we aim to raise awareness of the disease and avoid misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.
