  We report on the discovery of a boxy/peanut shaped bulge in the highly
inclined barred Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC~7582. The peanut shape is clearly evident
in near infrared $JHK$ images but obscured by extinction from dust in visible
$BVR$ images. This suggests that near infrared imaging surveys will discover a
larger number of boxy/peanut morphologies than visible surveys, particularly in
galaxies with heavy extinction such as NGC~7582. The bulge in NGC~7582 exhibits
strong boxiness compared to other boxy/peanut shaped bulges. If the starburst
was mediated by the bar, then it is likely that the bar formed in less than a
few bar rotation periods or a few $\times 10^8$ years ago. If the bar also
caused the peanut, then the peanut would have formed quickly; on a timescale of
a few bar rotation periods.
