description | This is a case report of 59 years old male with adrenocorticotropic hormone ACTH-independent macronodular adrenal hyperplasia (AIMAH), which is a rare cause of Cushing's syndrome. He was detected to have adrenal lesions incidentally on imaging. The biochemical evaluation was suggestive of endogenous ACTH-independent Cushing's syndrome. Contrast Enhanced CT of the abdomen done to characterize the lesion was suggestive of bilateral macro-nodular adrenal hyperplasia. There was no evidence of cushingoid features except for type 2 diabetes mellitus suggestive of subclinical Cushing's. He was not planned for any immediate medical/surgical management since metabolic control was achieved with oral anti-diabetics (OADs) and anti-hypertensive medications. He is on regular follow up with well-controlled sugars and blood pressure. |
