Addison's disease due to metastatic carcinoma: the value of CT scan
Abstract
A case of Addison's disease secondary to bilateral adrenal metastasis is reported. The adrenal metastasis were secondary to bronchogenic carcinoma and the diagnosis was made on the basis of the CT scan. The role of CT in the diagnosis of adrenal disease as well as the importance of including the adrenals in the chest CT scan for preoperative staging of bronchogenic carcinoma is discussed.
