Abstract
A 42-year-old female with clinical and endocrine indications of Cushing's syndrome, as well as periodic hypertension and increased urinary catecholamines and their metabolites, benefitted from removal of a pheochromocytoma. Adrenocortical hyperplasia was present. Electron microscopy showed catecholamine-type granules in the tumor cells; in addition, immunoreactive ACTH, leu-enkephalin, somatostatin, and serotonin were identified. Such studies were performed for the first time in this unusual condition.Entities:
