A 55-year-old woman with bilateral multiple adenomas showed hypertension, muscle weakness, hypokalemia, moon-like face and truncal obesity. Increased serum and urinary levels of aldosterone were observed. Serum cortisol level did not show a normal circadian rhythm. Microscopic examination of the resected tumors showed two types of adenoma cells; one (golden yellow tumor) was a large clear cell with foamy cytoplasm which possibly secreted aldosterone and the other (dark brown tumor) was an acidophilic cell with lipofuscin which might have produced cortisol. This is a very rare case of primary aldosteronism with Cushing's syndrome due to multiple bilateral adrenal adenomas.
