[Adrenal tuberculous pseudotumour].
Tuberculous pseudotumour of the adrenal gland with no other extra-adrenal sites of tuberculosis is a very rare entity. The authors describe the case of a 24-year-old patient in whom ultrasound and CT revealed a right adrenal mass. Adrenalectomy was performed by laparoscopy and the aetiological diagnosis was only established after histological examination of the operative specimen.
