Bilateral Adrenal Abscesses - A rare entity: a case report with review of literature.
Pak J Med Sci Jan ;20(1):64-7.

Objective: To report a very rare condition of bilateral adrenal abscesses in an infant. From literature it appears to be the third case being reported. On ultrasound imaging on several occasions it was considered to be bilateral adrenal hemorrhage. Hence our objective is to highlight the possibility of such masses to be adrenal abscesses. Design: Report of an unusual problem in an infant. Setting: Department of Pediatric Surgery, Children`s Hospital, PIMS, Islamabad. Results: Successfully treated with surgical drainage. Conclusion: Bilateral suprarenal abscesses usually results as an uncommon complication of bilateral adrenal hemorrhage. Ultrasound is the most helpful examination in distinguishing a suprarenal lesion from an intrarenal pathology and in demonstrating the morphology of an abscess. Percutaneous biopsy of supra renal mass should be avoided if pheochromocytoma is in the differential as was in our case.
