Core Tip	Adrenal incidentaloma (AI) has been frequently encountered in the clinical setting. It has been shown that primary aldosteronism (PA) or subclinical Cushing’s syndrome (SCS) are the representative causative diseases of AI. However, the coexistence of PA and SCS has been reportedly observed. In the present case report, we describe a case of AI, in which PA and SCS coexisted after endocrinologic examinations, which was ultimately confirmed by histopathological examinations after a laparoscopic adrenalectomy. Careful clinical examinations should be performed when patients harboring AI present with concomitant SCS and PA.
