Conservative management of Cushing's syndrome in pregnancy. A case report.
A woman with clinical and laboratory findings of Cushing's syndrome was managed during pregnancy without the use of surgery or drugs to lower her serum cortisol. A good maternal and infant outcome was achieved with conservative measures, and surgical removal of an adrenal adenoma was delayed until the postpartum period.
