Abstract

Primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease (PPNAD) is a rare genetic disease mainly associated with Carney complex (CNC), which is caused by germline mutations of the regulatory subunit type I-alpha of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase () gene. We report three cases suffering from CNC with unique features in diagnosis and follow-up. All cases had obesity and a cushingoid appearance and exhibited laboratory characteristics of hypercortisolism. However biochemical and radiological examinations initially suggested Cushing’s disease in one case. All of the cases were treated surgically; two of them underwent bilateral adrenalectomy at once, one of them had unilateral adrenalectomy at first but required contralateral adrenalectomy after nine months. Contrary to what is usually known regarding PPNAD, the adrenal glands of two cases (Case 2 and 3) had a macronodular morphology. Genetic analyses revealed pathogenic variants in (Case 1: c.440+5 G>A, not reported in the literature; cases 2 and 3: c.349G>T, p.V117F). One case developed Hodgkin lymphoma five year after adrenalectomy, this association was not previously reported with CNC. The findings of these families provides important information for a better understanding of the genetic pathogenesis, diagnosis, and clinical management of CNC. Hodgkin lymphoma may be a component of CNC.
