Two patients with the rare association of Cushing's syndrome and primary hyperparathyroidism are reported. Initially, both patients suffered from Cushing's syndrome due to adrenal cortical adenomas with typical features and laboratory findings. Five years after treatment of the Cushing's syndrome by removal of the tumor, asymptomatic mild hypercalcemia was incidentally noticed in both patients, which suggested the occurrence of primary hyperparathyroidism. An enlarged parathyroid gland was removed surgically in both cases and was histologically shown to be a parathyroid adenoma. The levels of serum calcium returned to normal after parathyroidectomy. Papillary adenocarcinoma of the thyroid in one patient and adenomatous goiter in the other were also incidentally detected at operation. These findings suggest that Cushing's syndrome resulting from an adrenal cortical adenoma may be another presentation of multiple endocrine neoplasia type I. |
