Published Date: Dec 28, 2020

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Our objective is to present a case of Cushing's disease (CD) with 2 adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-secreting pituitary tumors. Multiple monohormonal pituitary tumors are rare. This case supports a consideration of repeat transsphenoidal surgery (TSS) in patients with initial surgical failure.
