Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Bilateral adrenal infarction is rare and only a small number of cases have been reported so far. Adrenal infarction is usually caused by thrombophilia or a hypercoagulable state, such as antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, pregnancy, and coronavirus disease 2019. However, adrenal infarction with myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasm (MDS/MPN) has not been reported.
CASE PRESENTATION: An 81-year-old man with a sudden severe bilateral backache presented to our hospital. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) led to the diagnosis of bilateral adrenal infarction. Previously reported causes of adrenal infarction were all excluded and a diagnosis of MDS/MPN-unclassifiable (MDS/MPN-U) was reached, which was considered to be attributed to adrenal infarction. He developed a relapse of bilateral adrenal infarction, and aspirin administration was initiated. Partial primary adrenal insufficiency was suspected as the serum adrenocorticotropic hormone level was persistently high after the second bilateral adrenal infarction.
CONCLUSION: This is the first case of bilateral adrenal infarction with MDS/MPN-U encountered. MDS/MPN has the clinical characteristics of MPN. It is reasonable to assume that MDS/MPN-U may have influenced bilateral adrenal infarction development, considering the absence of thrombosis history and a current comorbid hypercoagulable disease. This is also the first case of recurrent bilateral adrenal infarction. It is important to carefully investigate the underlying cause of adrenal infarction once adrenal infarction is diagnosed, as well as to assess adrenocortical function.
