Adrenal cortical adenoma in a 13-year-old girl with neurofibromatosis. Case report and review of the literature.
We describe the occurrence of an adrenocortical adenoma causing Cushing's syndrome in a 13-year-old girl with neurofibromatosis (NF). Three further cases of adrenocortical tumours in patients with NF have been reported previously, suggesting that there may be an association between NF and tumours of the adrenal cortex.
