[Adrenal gland masses and Addison's disease of tuberculous origin: apropos of 2 cases].
Two cases of confirmed tuberculous Addison disease, with an increase in size of the adrenal glands are presented. One patient presented also a renal adenocarcinoma; this association is very rare given the small frequency of these diseases. Based on these two cases we emphasize the utility of puncture aspiration with a fine needle (PAFN), echography and TC Scan in the study of Addison disease.
