Abstract

Primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease (PPNAD) is a rare cause of Adrenocorticotropic hormone-independent Cushing syndrome. In this case, we present a case of PPNAD in 25 y/o women who presented with a 3 years history of weight gain, hirsutism, and abnormal menstruation. Our findings were suggestive of PPNAD in the pathological study of adrenal biopsy.
