Abstract:
A patient with an adrenocorticotropic hormone-secreting pituitary adenoma diagnosed at the same time as pregnancy is reported. Treatment was by transsphenoidal tumor resection, which has only been described once previously in such a case. Treatment rationale is discussed, and transsphenoidal tumor resection is recommended as the therapy of choice.
