Cite This Study

Oommen et al. (2026) conducted a case report in Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma presenting as bilateral adrenal masses (n=1). Hydrocortisone, fludrocortisone, and chemotherapy (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone) was evaluated. A 50-year-old man with bilateral adrenal masses and adrenal insufficiency was diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and treated with chemotherapy and corticosteroid replacement.
