| Abstract |
|
There are little reports on Cushing’s syndrome in children. We have seen a case of
Cushing’s syndrome due to left adrenal adenoma from 5 year 6 months old girl.
She has been complained from obesity with, buffalo hump, hirsutism and vaginal spotting.
Her blood cortisol levels were high and no diurnal variation. No suppression was occurred
following dexamethasone 1 mg overnight or 4 mg daily for 2 days.
Huge sized left adrenal mass was visualized by abdominal CT.
The tumor was removed successfully by anterior abdominal approach and that was found
as a benign adenoma by microscopic study.
The literature about Cushing*s syndrome were reviewed.
