ACTH independent hypercorticism with normal adrenal imaging and negative genetic screening for micronodular adrenal disease in a female teenager: what to suspect?

Van De Maele K , De Schepper J

Introduction: Micronodular adrenocortical disease is a very rare cause of Cushing syndrome in children. This adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-independent form of Cushing syndrome is mostly a part of the Carney Complex, which is caused by mutations in the PRKAR1A gene (1). A young female with endogenous ACTH independent hypercorticism without the classical gene mutations in the pigmented and the non-pigmented form of micronodular adrenal disease is presented.<p c...
