“…Most of the patients are female (71% female, 29% male), and are usually diagnosed 2-3 years after the rst onset. [8][9][10][11] Adrenal cortical adenoma postoperative specimen section of the vast majority is brown or black, di cult and pigmented adrenocortical adenoma, through the literature reference, easy to confuse the object mainly has three categories: functional pigmented adrenocortical adenoma, no functional pigmented adrenocortical adenoma, the adrenal adenoma disease. Therefore, it can be distinguished by the postoperative pathological summary.…”

Pigmentary adrenal cortical adenoma is a special type of adrenal adenoma. The adenoma cells contain a large amount of lipofuscin or neuromelanin, which is brown-black in visual appearance. According to the reports of many cases, the incidence probability is not clear at present. Therefore, it is a topic worth exploring in terms of preferred treatment, pathological diagnosis and differentiation from other types of adrenal adenomas. Here we report a case of a nonfunctional pigmentary adrenocortical adenoma with a specific pathological pattern, the diagnosis of which depends on postoperative pathological examination and immunohistochemical examination. Surgical resection is the main treatment for this disease, most of the benign tumors have a good prognosis, and long-term postoperative follow-up should be carried out for potential malignant adrenal cortical adenomas.
