Abstract

We report the case of a 61 year old woman with a typical clinical picture of ACTH dependent Cushing’s syndrome. Diagnostic tests confirmed ACTH dependent Cushing’s syndrome, which is caused by corticomedullary mixed tumor. ACTH-secreting pheochromocytoma are rarely described in accessible literature, there is no one case report about ACTH-secreting corticomedullary mixed tumor. Due to the rarity of the disease, we believe it appropriate to share our experience and consider all variants of interaction in hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, which could lead to morphology and clinical changes uncovered in this case.

Keywords
