Abstract:
Acute bilateral adrenal hemorrhage in patients who have been stressed by surgery, sepsis, and /or hypotension, as well as in patients who have been a preexisting coagulopathy, has previously been reported, but acute unilateral adrenal hemorrhage is extremely uncommon. We describe herein a 37-year-old man who had diabetes for 2 years and developed unilateral adrenal hemorrhage in coexisting adrenocortical adenoma.
