Özet
A 64-year-old female presented to the emergency department with complaints of fatigue, diarrhea, dizziness, and fever. Initial evaluation revealed hyperkalemia and primary adrenal insufficiency. Computed tomography of the abdomen revealeda bilateral adrenal mass. Ultrasonography-guided biopsy of the mass showed bilateral primary adrenal lymphoma, whichis a rare condition, and its clinical findings differ from those other lymphomas, thereby resulting in a delay in the diagnosisand leading to adverse prognosis for the patient. Here we present a typical case of bilateral primary adrenal lymphomapresenting with hyperkalemia due to adrenal insufficiency.
