Two patients with Addison's disease related to urogenital tuberculosis had enlargement of one or both adrenal glands detected with computed tomographic scanning. Review of reports of adrenal size on computed tomographic examination suggests that adrenal enlargement in the presence of Addison's disease demands further investigation about the cause of the adrenal insufficiency.
