Adrenocortical carcinoma is an uncommon tumour in the pediatric population. Account for only a small fraction of pediatric adrenal tumour. Most tumors in children are functional, and virilization is by far the most common presenting symptom, followed by Cushing's syndrome and precocious puberty. All patients with suspected adrenocortical carcinoma should be carefully evaluated for signs and symptoms of hormonal syndromes. DOI: 10.3329/taj.v22i1.5039 TAJ 2009; 22(1): 142-143

Diabète Sucré

Le syndrome de cushing (SC) est rare durant la grossesse et ses conséquences maternofœtales Peuvent être fatales. Nous rapportons l’observation d’une patiente qui présentait un SC compliqué d’un HELLP syndrome. Observation : Une patiente âgée de 35 ans consulte à 26 semaines d’aménorrhée (SA) pour prise en charge d’un SC. Sur le plan clinique elle présente une obésité faciotronculaire et des signes d’hypercatabolisme. Le cycle du cortisol était rompu, le freinage faible était négatif et le taux d’ACTH était inférieur à 1 pg/ml. L’IRM abdominale objectivait une masse surrénalienne droite de 35 mm. L’hypercorticisme s’est compliqué de pré-éclampsie, de diabète sucré et d’hypokaliémie. L’évolution était marquée par une élévation des ALAT, une thrombopénie et une anémie compatibles avec un HELLP syndrome obligeant la réalisation d’une césarienne de sauvetage à 29 SA avec naissance d’un nouveau-né de sexe masculin vivant et sain. La patiente a bénéficié par la suite d’une surrénalectomie droite et l’étude histologique concluait à un adénome. Conclusion : Le SC de la grossesse est une pathologie rare dont l’étiologie est le plus souvent surrénalienne. Le pronostic materno-fœtal est engagé du fait d’une forte prévalence de complications pouvant engager le pronostic vital tel que le HELLP syndrome qui représente une urgence obstétricale

Summary In this case report, we describe the management of a patient who was admitted with an ectopic ACTH syndrome during the COVID pandemic with new-onset type 2 diabetes, neutrophilia and unexplained hypokalaemia. These three findings when combined should alert physicians to the potential presence of Cushing’s syndrome (CS). On admission, a quick diagnosis of CS was made based on clinical and biochemical features and the patient was treated urgently using high dose oral metyrapone thus allowing delays in surgery and rapidly improving the patient’s clinical condition. This resulted in the treatment of hyperglycaemia, hypokalaemia and hypertension reducing cardiovascular risk and likely risk for infection. Observing COVID-19 pandemic international guidelines to treat patients with CS has shown to be effective and offers endocrinologists an option to manage these patients adequately in difficult times. Learning points This case report highlights the importance of having a low threshold for suspicion and investigation for Cushing’s syndrome in a patient with neutrophilia and hypokalaemia, recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes especially in someone with catabolic features of the disease irrespective of losing weight. It also supports the use of alternative methods of approaching the diagnosis and treatment of Cushing’s syndrome during a pandemic as indicated by international protocols designed specifically for managing this condition during Covid-19.
