Bilateral Adrenal Primary Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma not Accompanied by Adrenal Insufficiency: A Report of Two Cases
نویسنده
چکیده
Primary adrenal lymphoma (PAL) is uncommon in clinical settings, which is considered a rare high grade malignant lymphoma with a poor prognosis, patients with bilateral mass are rarer, and patients with normal adrenal function are extremely rare. We present 2 cases of patients with bilateral adrenal primary diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (PA-DLBCL) whose adrenal functions were normal. 2 patients were treated with unilateral adrenalectomy and a combination of chemotherapy. We summarized cases, reviewed the literature and discussed important issues with regard to the pathology change, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis.

The prognosis is usually poor and chemotherapy is the first-line treatment option. We report here on a 78-year-old man admitted to our Internal Medi...

متن کاملPituitary and adrenal involvement in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, with recovery of their function after chemotherapy
BACKGROUND Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma sometimes involves the endocrine organs, but involvement of both the pituitary and adrenal glands is extremely rare. Involvement of these structures can lead to hypopituitarism and adrenal insufficiency, and subsequent recovery of their function is rarely seen. The present report describes an extremely rare case of pituitary and adrenal diffuse large B-c...
