Particular cases of Cushing's syndrome--one with adrenocortical carcinoma and the other with double adenomas.
Two particular cases of adrenocortical tumors associated with Cushing's syndrome were documented. In the first case, the steroid pattern suggested a malignancy, and the histology of the excised tumor confirmed it. In the second case, the left adrenal had two distinct tumors; one dark-brown, and the other yellow in color. Recent trends in the diagnosis and treatment of Cushing's syndrome were discussed.
