摘要：

We present an unusual case of fever of unknown origin with bilateral adrenal masses in a patient with compensated chronic liver disease (compensated) due to hepatitis C who had been treated elsewhere with four months of anti-tuberculous therapy for suspected disseminated tuberculosis (TB). At our institution, he underwent a CT-guided biopsy of the adrenal lesion which to our surprise did not reveal any evidence of TB but a close mimic.
