RESUMO
Isolated adrenal tuberculosis is rare, and represents between 1-2% of the etiologies of adrenal masses called incidentalomas. A 32-year-old woman, without notable medical history, was hospitalized for pain in the left hypochondrium, lasting for two months in a context of apyrexia and weight loss amounted to 5 kg. Clinical examination was normal, but abdominopelvic CT objectified bilateral adrenal hypertrophy predominantly left with bilateral linear calcifications. The chest radiograph was normal, adrenal hormones were normal. The research of BK in sputum and urine were negative on direct examination and culture. The tuberculin was 12 mm and HIV status was negative. A left adrenal biopsy was done and histopathological study of tuberculous lesions was found confirming caseofolliculaire adrenal tuberculosis. The patient has been treated with antibacillaire with favorable evolution. In light of this observation, the authors make the point on this rare disease.
