Clinical characteristics of nine cases of adrenal tuberculosis and literature review
Adrenal tuberculosis predominantly affects both adrenal glands. Pathological findings are granulomatous inflammation and caseous necrosis. The diagnosis of adrenal tuberculosis relies on evidence of adrenal cortical insufficiency, extra-adrenal tuberculosis, laboratory confirmation of tuberculosis infection, characteristic imaging features, pathological examination, and diagnostic anti-tuberculosis therapy.
