Abstract:
Primary adrenal lymphoma is a very rare condition; it represents less than 0.5% of all adrenal tumors. Adrenal lymphoma is often bilateral and is mostly a B-cell type. T-cell lymphoma is exceptional. Diagnosis and treatment are challenging and prognosis is pejorative. We are reporting the case reports of two patients with primary and bilateral adrenal lymphoma. Both patients were operated without histological evidence, for the first, adrenalectomy with right nephrectomy and biopsy of the left mass were performed, histological result show the non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma cell-T, the evolution were marked with the death of patient by pulmonary embolism after the first cycles of chemotherapy, for the second patient left adrenalectomy and biopsy of the right mas were made, the histological study showed the non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma cell-B, the deceased patient in the outcomes. A review of literature displays the pejorative prognosis of these tumors. The objective is to have a less aggressive etiological approach without exploratory surgery.
