title: Cushing's disease in an 11-month-old child.
abstract: 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.
