Concomitant coexistence of ACTH‐dependent and independent Cushing syndrome

Abstract

Abstract We report a case of a patient who presented for ACTH‐dependent Cushing after a confirmed hypercortisolism and an inadequate normal ACTH. A transsphenoidal surgery of a pituitary picoadenoma has been done. After surgery, the patient showed the persistence of hypercortisolism. CT scan revealed adrenal adenomas removed surgically and improved the patient.
