摘要
Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-independent macronodular adrenal hyperplasia (AIMAH) is a rare disease which causes Cushing's syndrome. Bilateral adrenalectomy has been recommended as the treatment of choice for AIMAH. However, bilaterally adrenalectomized patients require lifelong steroid replacement therapy. Therefore, an increasing number of patients have undergone unilateral adrenalectomy for AIMAH. We report a case of AIMAH due to refractory diabetes in whom unilateral adrenalectomy initially yielded good diabetes control, but in whom poor glycemic control developed after 5 years, requiring eventual additional contralateral adrenalectomy. In elderly patients with AIMAH, one-stage bilateral adrenalectomy may be the treatment of choice.
