3320909019 Adrenocorticotropic hormone independent macronodular adrenal hyperplasia (AIMAH) is a rare cause of Cushing syndrome with characteristics of nodular enlargement of both adrenal glands that produce excess cortisol. The disease presents a bimodal age distribution with a rare subset presenting in the first years of life, particularly associated to McCune-Albright syndrome. Most patients present in their fifth or sixth decade. The adrenal glands can be massively enlarged bilaterally with the presence of numerous macronodules; however diffuse adrenal enlargement without nodules has been described. AIMAH is most often reported as sporadic but there are increasing reports of familial cases with autosomal dominant transmission. en Definition Active Case sensitive SNOMED CT core
