Abstract

Since the adrenal gland is a common site of metastatic disease, it is sometimes difficult to find the primary lesion only by diagnostic imaging. We report a case of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with bilateral adrenal involvement, in which percutaneous needle biopsy was useful to determine the histology.
