[Bilateral adrenal metastases with the clinical manifestations of hypocorticism in rectal cancer].
Metastases in the suprarenal glands are being found in patients with neoplasms but symptomatic hypocorticism is described in single cases only. Computed tomography allows the diagnosis of suprarenal metastases causing hypocorticism while the patients are still alive. A case of a man, 40 years of age, with rectal carcinoma and clinically manifested hypocorticism due to bilateral suprarenal metastases is presented.
