Sumario:Adrenal tuberculosis is a rare manifestation of active tuberculosis and is a difficult diagnosis to make if its presentation is sole manifestation of tuberculosis. We present an interesting case of a young male who presented only with symptoms of hyper pigmentation and was diagnosed as adrenal tuberculosis. Also, this report highlights the importance of drug interaction between antitubercular drug and steroid which lead to the deterioration in the early part of treatment and, later on was corrected by increasing the dose of steroids.
