This is the first case of bilateral adrenal infarction with MDS/MPN-U encountered. MDS/MPN has the clinical characteristics of MPN. It is reasonable to assume that MDS/MPN-U may have influenced bilateral adrenal infarction development, considering the absence of thrombosis history and a current comorbid hypercoagulable disease. This is also the first case of recurrent bilateral adrenal infarction. It is important to carefully investigate the underlying cause of adrenal infarction once adrenal infarction is diagnosed, as well as to assess adrenocortical function.
