Clinical and biochemical characteristics of adrenocorticotropin-secreting macroadenomas.

Clinical and biochemical characteristics of adrenocorticotropin-secreting macroadenomas.

CONTEXT: Cushing's disease as a result of a pituitary macroadenoma is an uncommon cause of Cushing's syndrome, and reports in the published literature are few and of limited size. OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to establish the clinical and biochemical characteristics of macroadenomas assoc...
