Even when both adrenal glands are completely removed fat tissue can respond, and thus the disease continues.

[Fat tissue IS endocrinological tissue in that
it produces at least one of the estrogens,
but disease of the fat tissue would not be
adrenal disease, but a different tissue type
responding -- just as bone tissue appears to
respond to high FSH levels but that is not
adrenal disease.
