BACKGROUND Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma,which accounts for about approximately 30%to 40%of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas,is the most common type and is a class of aggressive B-cell lymphomas.However,diffuse large B-cell lymphomas primary to the adrenal gland are rare.CASE SUMMARY A 73-year-old man was admitted with abdominal pain and fatigue.After admission,enhanced adrenal computed tomography indicated irregular masses on both adrenal glands,with the larger one on the left side,approximately 8.0 cm×4.3 cm in size.The boundary was irregular,and surrounding tissues were compressed.No obvious enhancement was observed in the arterial phase.Resection of the left adrenal gland was performed.Pathological diagnosis revealed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.After surgery,the patient received RCHOP immunochemotherapy.During the fourth immunochemotherapy,patient condition deteriorated,and he eventually died of respiratory failure.CONCLUSION R-CHOP is the conventional immunochemotherapy for primary adrenal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.Surgery is mainly used to diagnose the disease.Hence,the ideal treatment plan remains to be confirmed.
