Cytological diagnosis of bilateral primary adrenal lymphoma with cutaneous involvement.

Primary adrenal lymphoma (PAL) is an extremely rare condition. We describe here, a case of bilateral adrenal lymphoma in a 62-year-old man. He later developed subcutaneous masses on the hand and the leg. Fine-needle aspiration cytology from the adrenals and the soft tissue swellings led to a diagnosis of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Histopathological examination from the lesion on the leg, confirmed the diagnosis to be B-cell NHL. The case highlights the cytomorphological findings of this unusual case. Awareness of this entity is essential to differentiate it from other common causes of adrenal enlargement and formulate an appropriate treatment.
