An acquired partial pituitary insufficiency of unknown origin with selective ACTH and STH deficiency was demonstrated in a 44-year-old patient. The clinical course over many years corresponds to subclinical Addison's disease with occasional acute crises. Ossification of both auricular cartilages and anhidrosis were outstanding signs. There is possibly a connection between the glucocorticoid deficiency over many years with normal mineralocorticoids and the auricular cartilage ossification.
一名44岁患者被证实患有原因不明的后天性部分垂体功能不全，伴有选择性促肾上腺皮质激素（ACTH）和生长激素（STH）缺乏。多年的临床病程符合亚临床型艾迪生病，偶尔会出现急性危象。双侧耳廓软骨骨化和无汗是突出症状。多年来糖皮质激素缺乏而盐皮质激素正常的情况与耳廓软骨骨化之间可能存在关联。
