title: [Cushing's syndrome and pregnancy: apropos of a case and review of the literature].
abstract: The occurrence of Cushing's syndrome during pregnancy is rare. Sixty-eight cases have been reported in the literature of which 42.7% were secondary to an adrenal adenoma, 10.2% to an adrenal carcinoma, 26.5% to a bilateral adrenal hyperplasia and 11.8% to Cushing's disease. We report the case of a patient in whom the diagnostic of Cushing's syndrome with an adrenal adenoma was established during the postpartum period.
