SPONTANEOUS REMISSION IN A CASE OF CUSHING'S SYNDROME

RODOLFO Q. PASQUALINI, M.D.* and NATALIO GUREVICH, M.D.

Institute Nacional de Endocrinología Buenos Aires, Argentina

Cushing's syndrome is usually caused by hyperplasia or carcinoma of the adrenal cortex; less frequently it is associated with a basophil tumor of the pituitary, with or without adrenal hyperplasia; exceptionally it is observed in the presence of an ovarian or a thymic tumor; and in rare instances autopsy of typical cases of Cushing's syndrome reveals no organic lesion in the endocrine glands. Irrespective of its original cause, the evolution of all known cases has followed a progressive course which could only be delayed by means of pituitary irradiation, ample adrenalectomy, or death of the patient due to some intercurrent affection.
