Laparoscopic drainage of nocardial adrenal abscess in an HIV positive patient
2004
We report a rare case of a nocardial adrenal abscess in an HIV patient that underwent the first drainage of adrenal abscess by laparoscopy. Adrenal abscesses are exceedingly rare in adults and prove to be a diagnostic challenge. Laparoscopic adrenal exploration is both a diagnostic and therapeutic modality with low perioperative morbidity that should be considered in the management of indeterminate adrenal masses and abscesses.
