title: Bilateral primary pigmented nodular adrenal disease as a component of Carney syndrome - case report.
abstract: We report a case of a 20-year-old patient with Cushing's syndrome as a component of Carney syndrome. Carney syndrome is an autosomal dominant disease with co-existing bilateral pigmented nodular adrenal disease, heart and skin myxoma, skin pigmentation, breast fibroadenoma, testicular and ovarian tumours, thyroid tumours, and pituitary adenomas.
