Abstract

Primary Pigmented Micronodular Adrenal Disease is a rare cause of Cushing's syndrome, typically observed in children and young adults. It is often associated with the Carney complex. A typical subclinical, or cyclic Cushing's syndrome clinic can be seen clinically. Treatment options include bilateral-unilateral adrenalectomy or medical treatment.
This case presentation aims to draw attention to a rare condition by presenting a patient diagnosed with isolated PPNAD unrelated to the Carney complex.
