A 72-year-old man presented with weight loss, night sweats and haemoptysis and was hypotensive. CT imaging showed rapidly enlarging bilateral adrenal masses, and he was found to have primary adrenal insufficiency. An adrenal gland biopsy revealed the rare diagnosis of primary adrenal lymphoma. This unique case highlights possible rare causes of adrenal masses and adrenal insufficiency, their investigation and management principles.

An adolescent female was evaluated for fatigue, anorexia and unintentional weight loss of 7 kg. Initial investigations revealed subclinical autoimmune thyroid dysfunction, which progressed to overt hypothyroidism necessitating thyroxine replacement. She had entered early puberty, but this did not appear to be progressing. A high index of suspicion for coexisting endocrinopathies resulted in a diagnosis of Addison's disease and consequently autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 2 (Schmidt syndrome). While basal gonadotropins were normal, anti-Mullerian hormone was low and ovarian autoantibodies were positive, consistent with preclinical premature ovarian failure. Glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid replacement were instituted. Puberty progressed and menarche was subsequently attained. Screening for other autoantibodies was undertaken; however, none are positive to date.
