title: Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura as the presenting feature of a primary bilateral adrenal non Hodgkin's lymphoma.
abstract: Primary lymphomas arising in the adrenal gland are extremely rare. The presenting symptoms are nonspecific and may be related to lymphoma or to associated adrenal insufficiency. In this report we describe the case of a 61 year old woman with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura and primary bilateral non Hodgkin's lymphoma of the adrenals.
