Abstract:
We report the case of a spontaneously ruptured adrenal adenoma which caused Cushing's syndrome. The 34-year-old female patient had severe left-side back pain and anemia. Computerized tomography disclosed a retroperitoneal hemorrhage and a 4-cm mass on the left which was considered to be an adrenal tumor. An operation was successfully performed, and the patient is well 12 months after surgery.
