Abstract

Adrenal incidentaloma (AI) is rare and found in approximately 2-4% of abdominal computed tomography scans. Up to 10% of patients with AI have autonomous secretion of adrenal hormones. If not quickly diagnosed and adequately treated, the outcome may be devastating to the patient. On very rare occasions, a pheochromocytoma may, in addition to the production of catecholamine, produce adrenocorticotropic hormone causing Cushing disease. We present a case of a patient with pheochromocytoma and Cushing syndrome.
