A 74-year-old woman presented with symptoms consistent with hyperadrenocorticism and hyperca techolaminism. She had a cushingoid appearance and her cortisol level was elevated. Herserum dopamine and noradrenalin levels were also elevated.Computed tomography detected a left adrenal mass measuring 3.5 cm × 3.0 cm in diameter. Metaiodobenzylguanidine cintigraphy was negative. Unexpectedly, the serum Serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level was elevated.Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography showed increased uptake in the adrenal tumor only, with a maximum standardized uptake value of 2.8. Selective venography and blood sampling revealed that the concentrations of cortisol, catecholamines and CEA were significantly elevated in the vein draining the tumor. A diagnosis of CEA-produdng benign adenoma was made. After preoperative management, we performed a combined lateral and anterior transperitoneal laparoscopic adrenectomy. Her vital signs remained stable during surgery. Histopathological examination revealed a benign adenoma. Her cortisol, catecholamine and CEA levels normalized immediately after surgery. We present, to the best of our knowledge, the first case of CEA-roducin gadrenal adenoma, along with a review of the relevant literature, and discuss our laparoscopic surgery techniques.
