A rare adrenal gland pseudotumor caused by tuberculosis was diagnosed in a young patient. Histological examination after laparoscopic surgery confirmed the diagnosis, highlighting a unique presentation of tuberculosis.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Tuberculosis (TB) typically affects multiple organs, with adrenal involvement often seen in disseminated disease.
  • Isolated tuberculous pseudotumor of the adrenal gland is exceptionally rare, posing diagnostic challenges.

Observation:

  • A 24-year-old patient presented with a right adrenal mass identified via ultrasound and computed tomography (CT).
  • No other signs of extra-adrenal tuberculosis were detected in the patient.

Findings:

  • Laparoscopic adrenalectomy was performed for the adrenal mass.
  • Postoperative histological examination of the surgical specimen confirmed the diagnosis of tuberculous pseudotumor of the adrenal gland.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering rare presentations of tuberculosis, even when seemingly localized.
  • Histopathological analysis remains crucial for definitive diagnosis of unusual adrenal masses.
  • Highlights the need for awareness among clinicians regarding isolated adrenal tuberculosis presentations.
