摘要:
There is an increasing number of cases of aldosterone- and cortisol-producing adenomas (A/CPAs) reported in the context of primary aldosteronism (PA). Most of these patients have PA complicated with subclinical Cushing's syndrome; cases of apparent Cushing's syndrome (CS) complicated with aldosteronism are less reported. However, Co-secretory tumors were present in the right adrenal gland, a cortisol-secreting adenoma and an aldosterone-producing nodule (APN) were present in the left adrenal gland, and aldosterone-producing micronodules (APMs) were present in both adrenal glands, which has not been reported. Here, we report such a case, offering profound insight into the diversity of clinical and pathological features of this disease.The case was a 45-year-old female from the adrenal disease diagnosis and treatment centre in West China Hospital of Sichuan University. The patient presented with hypertension, moon-shaped face, central obesity, fat accumulation on the back of the neck, disappearance of cortisol circadian rhythm, ACTH < 5 ng/L, failed elevated cortisol inhibition by dexamethasone, orthostatic aldosterone/renin activity > 30 (ng/dL)/(ng/mL/h), and plasma aldosterone concentration > 10 ng/dL after saline infusion testing. Based on the above, she was diagnosed with non-ACTH-dependent CS complicated with PA. Adrenal vein sampling showed no lateralization for cortisol and aldosterone secretion in the bilateral adrenal glands. The left adrenocortical adenoma was removed by robot-assisted laparoscopic resection. However, hypertension, fatigue and weight gain were not alleviated after surgery; additionally, purple striae appeared in the lower abdomen, groin area and inner thigh, accompanied by systemic joint pain. One month later, the right adrenocortical adenoma was also removed. CYP11B1 were expressed in the bilateral adrenocortical adenomas, and CYP11B2 was also expressed in the right adrenocortical adenomas. APN existed in the left adrenal gland and APMs in the adrenal cortex adjacent to bilateral adrenocortical adenomas. After another surgery, her serum cortisol and plasma aldosterone returned to normal ranges, except for slightly higher ACTH.This case suggests that it is necessary to assess the presence of PA, even in CS with apparent symptoms. As patients with CS and PA may have more complicated adrenal lesions, more data are required for diagnosis.© 2023. The Author(s).
