ACTH-independent macronodular adrenal hyperplasia.
Adrenocorticotropic hormone- (ACTH-)independent macronodular adrenal hyperplasia (AIMAH) is an infrequent cause of Cushing's syndrome (CS). AIMAH presents as incidental radiological finding or with subclinical or overt CS, occasionally with secretion of mineralocorticoids or sex steroids. The pathophysiology of this entity is heterogeneous. The aberrant adrenal expression and function of one or...

This form of adrenal hyperplasia typically produces excess cortisol with overt or subclinical CS, but concurrent secretion of mineralocorticoids or sexual steroids can also occur. The diagnosis is ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Bilateral adrenalectomy or unilateral adrenalectomy and contralateral partial adrenalectomy are indicated for the treatment of ACTH-independent macronodular adrenal hyperplasia.

1 of 2 DESCRIPTION Figure 1 is of a CT scan showing bilateral macronodular adrenal glands in a patient with adrenocorticotropic hormone-independent macronodular adrenal hyperplasia (AIMAH). AIMAH was fi rst described in 1964 1 . AIMAH is often discovered as a fortuitous radiological fi nding, as in our patient, or during investigation for endogenous hypercortisolism. AIMAH represents less than ...
