Abstract
Primary adrenal lymphoma is a rare primary neoplastic disease of the adrenal glands, with up to 65 cases reported in the literature over the past 40 years. The increasing use and sophistication of medical diagnostic imaging has allowed this disease to be diagnosed more frequently premortem, presenting more opportunity for treatment. The true incidence of these neoplasms is not known, nor is it clear why historical autopsy series have not reported this neoplasm more frequently, and why its existence has been documented more recently with advanced diagnostic imaging. This review has presented our new case, and reviewed 5 more in the literature, bringing the total number of cases to over 70. Accumulation of more cases and the experience treating these cases is needed to develop a better picture of diagnostic procedures and treatment regimens that have maximum efficiacy.
