[Treatment with metyrapone of Cushing's syndrome revealing McCune-Albright syndrome].
Cushing's syndrome reveals McCune-Albright syndrome in a minority of patients. Bilateral adrenalectomy is performed on the majority of cases.


METHODS
We present a case of McCune-Albright syndrome revealed by a Cushing's syndrome treated by metyrapone. Results were good, after a 4-year follow up.


CONCLUSIONS
Treatment with metyrapone could be recommended, for some patients, in McCune-Albright syndrome with Cushing's syndrome before chirurgical treatment.
