Abstract
Systemic sclerosis is a rare autoimmune disorder that affects multiple organ systems, including the lungs, kidneys, and liver, and often leads to fatal complications. Adrenocortical adenoma, a benign tumor, can secrete hormones such as cortisol, resulting in symptoms including hypertension, diabetes, and obesity, although it can also be asymptomatic. This article presents a case of a patient with systemic sclerosis and adrenocortical adenoma, detailing the diagnostic and therapeutic journey before and after laparoscopic adrenal tumor resection. It offers insights into the clinical management of such cases and analyzes how surgical removal of the adenoma affects the treatment and prognosis of systemic sclerosis. This study aimed to provide valuable knowledge to healthcare professionals managing patients with this dual diagnosis, further contributing to the medical understanding of treatment outcomes in such cases.
