The fifth case of Cushing's syndrome with bilateral adrenocortical tumours is described. By the hormonal dynamic studies both tumours have been shown to be autonomous in the secretion of cortisol. Histopathologically, both tumours were identified as benign adrenocortical adenomas without nodules, and the right one was a so-called black adenoma. A high concentration of cortisol was obtained from both tumour tissue extracts. The differential diagnosis of Cushing's syndrome due to bilateral adrenocortical adenomas from primary adrenocortical nodular dysplasia is briefly discussed.
