Description
Lingfeng Shi and five co-authors report a woman who had both a rare hormone-making tumor and a rare nerve sheath tumor at once, in a case paper from 2024. The first tumor made cortisol outside the adrenal glands, causing Cushing symptoms. The second type in the back belly area is also uncommon.
The 38-year-old patient had swelling, high blood pressure, and classic hormone signs with high cortisol and suppressed control hormone. Gland scans looked normal, but belly imaging found two masses near the kidney and spine. One lit up on a targeted scan as the likely hormone source. Surgery removed both masses, symptoms eased, and lab checks confirmed the two diagnoses.
