In addition, patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency, a condition which is associated with chronically high plasma ACTH levels, can present with adrenal myelolipoma (67–69), suggesting a role of ACTH in the development of lipomatous tissue inclusions in the adrenal glands. This evidence concerns the gene POMC and congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
