Cushing's syndrome caused by adrenocortical oncocytoma: A case report.

Adrenal cortical eosinophilic adenoma usually presents as non-functional adrenal tumor but may lead to Cushing's syndrome in patients. The present article reports a patient with Cushing's syndrome caused by right adrenocortical oncocytoma. The patient was treated in Urology Department of Wuchuan People's Hospital (Zunyi, China) in November 2022 because of hirsutism, weight gain and hypertension. A laparoscopic right adrenal tumor resection was performed using an abdominal approach. Following surgery, blood pressure and heart rate of the patient fluctuated within a healthy range and menstruation returned to normal. Laparoscopic adrenalectomy has obvious advantages over open adrenalectomy, such as less trauma, shorter recovery time and fewer complications. Thus, this treatment for this rare disease is safe and feasible.
