  • Title: Treatment of Cushing's disease with bilateral adrenalectomy and autotransplantation.
    Author: Urban MD, Lee PA, Danish RK, Migeon CJ.
    Journal: Horm Res; 1980; 13(2):81-9. PubMed ID: 7227977.
    Abstract:
    2 Cases of childhood Cushing's disease have been treated with bilateral adrenalectomy and autotransplantation of adrenal tissue. Transplantation was unsuccessful in 1 case. In the other patient, replacement therapy was discontinued without any symptoms of hypo- or hyperadrenocorticism. Her urinary 17-hydroxycorticosteroids, free cortisol and aldosterone remain in the low normal range indicating functional adrenal tissue, probably a result of the transplant.
