Cortisole(CS) level > 3μg/dL after use of 1mg dexamethasone(Dex) was the U.S. guideline of SCS, while >1.8µg/dL in Japanese guideline. In this analysis, we have studied the clinical benefit of surgically removal in SCS tumor, especially patients with gray zone(between US and Japanese guideline);1.8≤CS<3.0µg/dL after Dex 1mg treatment. METHODS Total of 112 patients diagnosed as SCS between 1997 and 2015 were included in this study. 94 patients underwent surgical adrenalectomy and 18 patients were none surgically observed. Clinical outcome such as HT, DM, HL and body mass index(BMI) were retrospectively analyzed. All the surgical adrenalectomies were performed by retroperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy. RESULTS Median age was 65 years. Median tumor diameters were 30 mm. Significant improvement in HT (P
