          Abstract

          A 61-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with hypertension and diabetes mellitus, and was found to have Cushing's syndrome. Radiological and endocrinological findings suggested adrenocorticotropic hormone-independent macronodular adrenal hyperplasia. Simultaneous bilateral laparoscopic adrenalectomy was performed, minimizing the number of trocar sites and operation time. Success was attributed to the careful selection of trocar sites to permit safe dissection.
