Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is a world-wide epidemic. The World Health Organization estimated a global incidence of around 10 million new cases in 2019, and it is one of the top 10 causes of death in the world with 1.2 million deaths annually. Tuberculosis is mainly a pulmonary disease, and extra-pulmonary tuberculosis accounts for 5% to 15% of all cases. Primary adrenal tuberculosis is rare, constituting 6% of all TB cases. We report a case of primary adrenal tuberculosis, with a discussion of the clinical features, radiologic and pathological findings and treatment outcomes. A review of the current knowledge of this disease is also provided.
