Abstract

A case of Cushing's syndrome due to benign adrenal adenoma (Ad) arising in pregnancy is described. Accurate tumour localisation with magnetic resonance imaging facilitated definitive surgical intervention. Curative adrenalectomy was performed via a posterior approach in the third trimester with subsequent uncomplicated delivery of a healthy infant. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd.
