Deskripsi
Breast cancer, amongst others, commonly metastasizes to adrenals causing hypoadrenalism. However, adrenal insufficiency is a rare manifestation. We report a rare case of metastatic carcinoma breast with bilateral adrenal involvement who presented with early adrenal insufficiency. This a dreaded complication which can be avoided if prompt treatment is initiated based on strong clinical suspicion.
