The histological examination is characterised by small pigmented micronodules on the adrenal cortex. The diagnosis is most often seen in patients with Carney Complex, but it can also occur in isolation. We report ...

Pigmented Nodular Adrenocortical Disease

Carney complex (CNC) is a multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) syndrome associated with other, non-endocrine manifestations such as lentigines, cardiac myxomas and schwannomas. Primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease (PPNAD), leading to corticotrophin-independent Cushing’s syndrome is the most frequent endocrine lesion in CNC. The complex has been mapped to 2p16 and 17q22-24, although ad...

Primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease and Cushing's syndrome.

Primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease (PPNAD) is a form of bilateral adrenocortical hyperplasia that is often associated with corticotrophin (ACTH)-independent Cushing's syndrome (CS) and is characterized by small to normal-sized adrenal glands containing multiple small cortical pigmented nodules (1,2). PPNAD may occur in an isolated form or associated with a multiple neoplasia syndr...
