TI  - ACTH-independent macronodular adrenal hyperplasia: imaging findings of a rare 
      condition : A case report.
PG  - 225-9
AB  - Endogenous Cushing's syndrome is a relatively rare disease. Most cases being 
      ACTH-dependent, ACTH-independent Cushing's syndrome (AICS) is an even rarer 
      condition [15%-20%]. In more than 95% cases the cause of AICS is unilateral 
      adrenal enlargement caused by adenoma or carcinoma. Bilateral adrenal disease is 
      caused by primary pigmented nodular adrenal dysplasia (PPNAD) and 
      ACTH-independent macro nodular hyperplasia (AIMAH). Only few case reports of the 
      latter condition exist in the radiology literature, PPNAD being the commoner of 
      two as the cause for AICS.
