Abstract
We present the case of a young male admitted with Cushing's syndrome and a pituitary microadenoma for trans-sphenoidal surgery. An equivocal ACTH level and incomplete work up for the hypercortisolism prompted postponement of the surgery in favour of further investigation which revealed an adrenal adenoma. He finally underwent a laparoscopic left adrenalectomy which proved curative. Bombay Hospital Journal, Vol. 62, No. 1, 2020 70
