Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma as a cause of hypoadrenalism.
Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma which presents as adrenocortical insufficiency is rare, however, it should be a well-recognised entity because, in addition to specific chemotherapy or radiotherapy, it needs hormonal replacement. We report a patient with diffuse histiocytic lymphoma, who had remission for seven years and relapsed with Addisonian crisis.
