Primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease (PPNAD) is a rare cause of ACTH-independent Cushing's syndrome that may occur in an isolated form or as part of Carney complex. The diagnosis of this disease can be difficult preoperatively because computed tomography (CT) scan can be normal or suggest unilateral adrenal lesion, which can impede the correct diagnosis of bilateral adrenal disease.
