Primary bilateral adrenal tuberculosis with Addison's disease: A case report

Abstract

Primary adrenal tuberculosis is an extremely rare benign lesion that typically presents with no clinical symptoms in its early stages, making it prone to clinical misdiagnosis. We report a case of a middle-aged man initially thought to have adrenal nodules, which further examination revealed to be adrenal tuberculosis accompanied by Addison's disease. This report discusses the diagnostic approach, progressive features, and treatment options for this rare disease.
