摘要
目的探讨非ACTH依赖性双侧肾上腺大结节增生(AIMAH)患者的临床特点。方法回顾性分析1998年至2010年解放军总医院内分泌科收治并确诊的18例非ACTH依赖性双侧肾上腺大结节增生患者的临床资料。结果(1)AIMAH患者男女比例1:1,平均就诊年龄(51.4±10.7)岁,平均病程(9.9±2.7)年;(2)部分患者因体检意外发现。肾上腺占位就诊;高血压、糖代谢异常最常见,满月脸、向心性肥胖等典型的库欣综合征(CS)体征较少见;(3)实验室检查示患者均为非ACTH依赖性CS,部分患者具备亚临床CS的特点;24h动态血ACTH、皮质醇水平监测能全面、清晰显示部分AIMAH患者亚临床库欣综合征的特点;外源性ACTH能刺激皮质醇的显著分泌;(4)CT显示双侧肾上腺结节样增生改变,结节直径多在1.0~3.5cm;(5)病理显示肾上腺组织结节样增生;(6)双侧肾上腺切除治疗效果较好,单侧切除效果不佳。结论AIMAH为库欣综合征的独立少见类型,部分患者表现为亚临床库欣综合征,非ACTH依赖性及双侧肾上腺结节样增生为该病最重要的临床特点。
Objective To study the clinical features of patients with ACTH-independent bilateral macronodular adrenal hyperplasia (AIMAH). Methods Eighteen cases with AIMAH diagnosed in Chinese PLA General Hospital from 1998 to 2010 were analyzed retrospectively. Results ( 1 ) AIMAH was equally distributed between genders, mean age at diagnosis was (51.4±10. 7) years, and average course was (9. 9±2. 7) years. (2) Most patients visited hospital because of adrenal incidentaloma; hypertension and impaired glucose tolerance/diabetes mellitius were the most common clinical presentations; typical signs of Cushing's syndrome(CS) such as moon face and central obesity were less frequent. ( 3 ) All cases' laboratory findings met the diagnostic criteria of ACTH- independent CS, some cases with the features of subclinical CS. 24 h dynamic plasma ACTH and eortisol monitoring had the advantage of revealing the features of subclinical CS for some AIMAH cases ; there was remarkable elevation of plasma cortisol after exogenous ACTH stimulation in AIMAH patients. (4) Bilateral adrenal macronodular changes could be visualized on CT scan. ( 5 ) Pathology identified bilateral macronodular adrenal hyperplasia. ( 6 ) Bilateral adrenalectomy was the most useful treatment. Conclusions A1MAH is an infrequent cause of CS, and some patients present subclinical CS. Its marked clinical feature is ACTH-independent bilateral macronodnlar adrenal hyperplasia.
