Silent corticotroph adenoma (SCA) is a non-functioning macroadenoma that has positive immunoreactivity for ACTH. Few studies have evaluated the biochemical behaviour of these tumours. We present the case of a 65-year-old male incidentally diagnosed with SCA, in which an exhaustive study of the corticotroph axis was conducted.
沉默型促肾上腺皮质激素细胞腺瘤（SCA）是一种对促肾上腺皮质激素（ACTH）免疫反应呈阳性的无功能大腺瘤。很少有研究评估这些肿瘤的生化行为。我们报告一例65岁男性偶然诊断为SCA的病例，其中对促肾上腺皮质激素轴进行了详尽研究。
