A 42-year-old female was admitted to our hospital with a chief complaint of hypertension. Endocrinologically, the plasma cortisol level was increased, but its diurnal rhythm had disappeared and the plasma cortisol level was not suppressed by dexamethasone loading at 2 mg or 8 mg. The plasma ACTH level was low. Computerized tomographic scan, echography and adrenocortical scintigraphy showed an adrenocortical tumor on the right adrenal gland. Physical examination did not reveal typical Cushingoid symptoms such as moon face, central obesity and violaceous striae. Thus we diagnosed this case as non-Cushingoid Cushing's syndrome and performed right adrenalectomy. Histological examination showed adreno-cortical adenoma without malignancy.
