In a 33-year-old female patient with left adrenal tumour and Cushing's syndrome, adrenocortical scintigraphy with radiocholesterol did not image the tumour nor the suppressed contralateral gland. Histology showed a black adrenocortical adenoma composed only of compact cells; there was no evidence of malignancy. This demonstrates that non-visualization of the adrenal glands in a patient with Cushing's syndrome is not invariably due to adrenal carcinoma. The literature on black adrenal adenomas causing Cushing's syndrome is reviewed.
在一名患有左肾上腺肿瘤和库欣综合征的33岁女性患者中，用放射性胆固醇进行的肾上腺皮质闪烁扫描未显示肿瘤及对侧受抑制的腺体。组织学检查显示为仅由致密细胞组成的黑色肾上腺皮质腺瘤；无恶性证据。这表明库欣综合征患者肾上腺不显影并非总是由于肾上腺癌所致。本文对导致库欣综合征的黑色肾上腺腺瘤的文献进行了综述。
