Abstract

We report the first case of recurrent ductal breast carcinoma presenting as primary adrenal insufficiency. We describe a patient who developed a recurrence of invasive ductal breast carcinoma which went undetected until the patient presented with fulminant adrenal crisis. We describe here an overview of the clinical presentation, work-up, diagnosis, and treatment of adrenal crisis. Adrenal crisis due to bilateral adrenal metastases secondary to invasive ductal breast carcinoma is an exceedingly rare occurrence. To our knowledge, this is the first case of recurrent breast carcinoma in which the presenting feature is primary adrenal insufficiency. Patients with a history of breast carcinoma and bilateral adrenal enlargement should be evaluated for the presence of primary adrenal insufficiency.
