  • Title: Bilateral primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the adrenal glands with adrenal insufficiency: a case report.
    Author: Utsunomiya M, Takatera H, Itoh H, Tsujimura T, Itatani H.
    Journal: Hinyokika Kiyo; 1992 Mar; 38(3):311-4. PubMed ID: 1523986.
    Abstract:
    A 72-year-old woman with bilateral non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the adrenal glands causing adrenal insufficiency is reported. The left-side lymphoma (diffuse large B-cell lymphoma) was removed surgically but the right-side lymphoma could not be removed. Complete response was obtained with subsequent combined chemotherapy and was maintained for 6 months with repeated chemotherapies. However, the patient died of liver recurrence 1 year after admission. In cases of malignant lymphoma forming a bulky mass, surgery with subsequent chemotherapy appears to reduce the cancer volume and improve the therapeutic outcome.
