Bilateral primary adrenal lymphoma is rare with no specific clinical or imaging features. We report herein the case of a 44-year-old man presenting with massive bilateral adrenal tumors associated with normal adrenal function. Computed tomography findings were nonspecific. Because pheochromocytoma was ruled out and the patient had a normal coagulation test, we performed an ultrasound-guided adrenal biopsy for diagnostic purposes. Pathology confirmed adrenal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. By reporting our case, we aimed to propose a practical approach for this rare entity and to show that there are still situations in which biopsy is necessary to make a diagnosis.

Adrenal gland incidentaloma (incidental – sudden, accidental) is a mass of the adrenal gland(s), accidentally detected by an instru-mental examination conducted for other reasons. The frequency of detection of this pathology based on computer tomography of the abdominal organs is 0.5%–2%. In most cases, the mass is represented by adrenocortical adenomas without hormonal secretion. It is an extremely rare case (less than 1% of all cases) when the adrenal incidentaloma is a primary adrenal lymphoma, which accounts for 1% of all non-Hodgkin lymphomas and 3% of all extranodal lymphomas with a few cases reported in the literature. In our article, we present a case of left adrenal incidentaloma of the adrenal gland, which, during further observation and examination, increased in size, which was the reason for performing laparoscopic adrenalectomy. According to the results of the histological examination, the mass turned out to be diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
