Urology. 2003 Jun;61(6):1260. doi: 10.1016/s0090-4295(03)00132-8.

Abstract

The adrenal gland is the most common site of extranodal spread from primary lung cancer. We report a case of adrenal hemorrhage secondary to metastasis in a patient with primary large cell carcinoma of the lung presenting as a suspected ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm.
