Hormonal, radiological, NP-59 scintigraphy and pathological correlations in patients with Cushing's syndrome due to Primary Pigmented Nodular Adrenocortical Disease (PPNAD).

CONCLUSION: Standard adrenal CT scan most often reveals micronodules but there is no specific CT-imaging. NP-59 scintigraphy always shows a bilateral adrenal uptake confirming the bilateral nature of the disease, but asymmetrical scintigraphic uptake can be observed in patients with macronodules.
