  • Title: Recurrent Cushing's syndrome due to recurrent adrenocortical tumor--fragmentation or tumor in ectopic adrenal tissue?
    Author: Leibowitz J, Pertsemlidis D, Gabrilove JL.
    Journal: J Clin Endocrinol Metab; 1998 Nov; 83(11):3786-9. PubMed ID: 9814447.
    Abstract:
    A 33-yr-old woman was found to have Cushing's syndrome due to a left adrenal cortical tumor. The tumor and the surrounding adrenal gland were removed intact and in toto. Four years later, she noticed recurrent symptoms of Cushing's syndrome, and 6 yr postoperatively, an adrenal tumor was demonstrable on computed tomography. Fourteen years after the initial procedure, a left adrenal tumor, presumably arising in ectopic adrenal tissue, was removed with relief of her symptoms of Cushing's syndrome. The site and functional capacity of ectopic adrenal tissues are reviewed.
