What is A Unilateral Lipid-Poor Adrenal Mass: An Atypical Presentation of Adrenal Histoplasmosis about?

Lipid-poor adrenal masses are the landmines of adrenal disorders. Although lipid-poor adrenal masses may be benign nonfunctional cortical adenomas, it can be difficult to make the distinction from more concerning diagnoses such as small adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) (see Cases 6 and 23) or prebiochemical pheochromocytoma (see Case 36). Choosing nonsurgical management can carry clinically significant risk. Unless metastatic disease or infection is strongly suspected, adrenal biopsy should be avoided. There are atypical presentations of nearly all adrenal disorders and caring for these patients can be a humbling experience. Herein we present such a case.
