A Case of Cushing's Syndrome in a Child, due to Adrenocortical Adenoma
Abstract
Cushing's syndrome, though un-
common in infants and children,
should be considered in the evaluation
of children with obesity. The clinical
features of this disorder are familiar
to most physicians, not least of all
the identical pattern as the results of
prolonged therapeutic administration
of cortisone.
