| Popis: |
Adrenal masses are commonly found on radiographic studies performed for unrelated reasons. We report on a case of a non-functioning adrenal mass from which a needle biopsy showed a nonspecific infiltrate of polyclonal plasma cells and small lymphocytes. A definitive diagnosis of the plasma cell variant of Castleman lymphadenopathy was made only after surgical excision. While the hyaline vascular variant of Castleman lymphadenopathy has been identified in adrenal glands, this is the first report of the plasma cell variant in an adrenal mass. This case particularly underscores the importance of an excisional biopsy for proper diagnosis. |
