Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma limited to the adrenal gland with adrenal insufficiency. 1985

T C Shea, and R Spark, and B Kane, and R F Lange

A 81-year-old man presented with bilateral adrenal masses found pathologically to be a large cell, non-follicular center, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. His clinical course was remarkable for the lack of macroscopic extra-adrenal tumor and for adrenal insufficiency in response to stress and cosyntropin stimulation. This is believed to be the first reported case of a non-Hodgkin's lymphoma limited to the adrenal glands with associated adrenal insufficiency.

D006728 Hormones Chemical substances having a specific regulatory effect on the activity of a certain organ or organs. The term was originally applied to substances secreted by various ENDOCRINE GLANDS and transported in the bloodstream to the target organs. It is sometimes extended to include those substances that are not produced by the endocrine glands but that have similar effects.
