A case of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (large cell immunoblastic sarcoma) arising as a primary malignancy in the adrenal gland is reported and the literature concerning this unusual tumor is reviewed. Although extremely rare, it is possible to make the diagnosis preoperatively. Therefore, primary adrenal lymphoma should be included in the differential diagnosis of a suprarenal mass.

Primary adrenal lymphoma (PAL) is extremely uncommon. We describe a case of clinically silent non-Hodgkin's B-cell lymphoma of diffuse large cell type with exclusive left adrenal localization. The tumor was discovered by computed tomography (CT) as a 2.5cm dense mass and diagnosed at autopsy. Litera
