Rare Case of an Adrenal Tumor: Phaeochromocytoma with Concomitant Hypercortisolism

Man Hon Tang, Clement LK Chia, Vikram Janardan Sonawane, Kuttiparambil Unnikrishnan and Reyaz Moiz Singaporewalla

This case study represents a patient with an adrenal nodule with functional studies positive for phaeochromocytoma as well as hypercortisolism. We postulate that a catecholamine stress response from the phaeochromocytoma resulted in a hypercortisol secretion from the adrenal cortex.
