Abstract
T-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma is an aggressive condition with frequent involvement of the mediastinum, occurring most frequently in older children, adolescents, and young adults. The involvement of extranodal sites is less common, and abdominal dissemination is unusual, but when present it primarily involves the liver and spleen. However, primary lymphoma of the adrenal glands is rare. The majority of reported cases presented with a B-cell immunophenotype. Herein, we report the case of a patient with T-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma who presented predominantly with bilateral adrenal masses without lymphadenopathy, and whose clinical course deteriorated rapidly.
