Department of Urology, Asahi General Hospital.

A 36-year-old female was admitted to Asahi General Hospital because of hypertension. Laboratory findings showed elevated levels of urine 17 (11)-hydroxycorticosteroid and blood cortisol. Computerized tomography and ultrasound sonography demonstrated a round tumor at the suprarenal region. The black tumor, 5 X 3 X 2 cm, was removed by left adrenalectomy. Microscopic findings revealed adrenal adenoma consisting of compact cells containing numerous pigmented granules. Postoperative course was uneventful. Hormonal condition was recovered 11 months after operation.
