Cushing's disease in an 11-month-old child.
Cushing's disease (Pituitary tumor causing bilateral adrenal hyperplasia) is very rare in children and more so in infants. Cushing's syndrome in pediatric patients is usually due to adrenal tumors. We report a case of an 11-month-old child with Cushing's disease caused by a Pituitary macroadenoma.
