Adrenal incidentaloma (AI) is rare and found in approximately 2-4% of abdominal computed tomography scans. Up to 10% of patients with AI have autonomous secretion of adrenal hormones. If not quickly diagnosed and adequately treated, the outcome may be devastating to the patient. On very rare occasions, a pheochromocytoma may, in addition to the production of catecholamine, produce adrenocorticotropic hormone causing Cushing disease. We present a case of a patient with pheochromocytoma and Cushing syndrome.
肾上腺偶发瘤(AI)较为罕见,在约2%-4%的腹部计算机断层扫描中被发现。高达10%的肾上腺偶发瘤患者存在肾上腺激素自主分泌。如果不能迅速诊断并得到充分治疗,后果可能对患者极为严重。在极少数情况下,嗜铬细胞瘤除了分泌儿茶酚胺外,还可能分泌促肾上腺皮质激素,导致库欣病。我们报告一例患有嗜铬细胞瘤和库欣综合征的患者。
