Abstract | Double functioning adrenocortical adenomas, occurring in the same gland is an extremely rare condition. This paper presents two cases of double functioning adrenocortical adenomas within the same adrenal gland, causing primary aldosteronism. Diagnosis was set histopathologically in one case since magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) failed to distinguish the two entities. In each case, a laparoscopic adrenalectomy was conducted. When preoperative imaging studies fail to report the presence of double adrenocortical adenomas, histopathology reports should be comprehensive enough so as to reveal such rare lesions. |
