Tuberculosis is one of the main causes in developing countries. We present the case of a 10-year-old male patient diagnosed with adrenal insufficiency two years earlier with regular treatment, who was admitted for adrenal crisis. A thoraco-abdominal tomography was carried out during hospitalization, which showed cylindrical and traction bronchiectasis associated with cicatricial atelectasis in the right upper pulmonary lobe, enlarged adrenal glands with foci of calcification, as well as a dense posterior perivertebral mediastinal collection also involving vertebral bodies with lytic resorptive foci, findings consistent with systemic tuberculosis. Treatment for tuberculosis started based on this diagnosis.
