Abstract

Pituitary or adrenal lesions can cause Cushing syndrome, which has an incidence of 10-15 per million people. A growing variety of tumor subtypes make up the heterogeneous illness known as renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Herein, we described a case with renal clear cell carcinoma and an adrenal adenoma. As was mentioned, it is recommended that these patients routinely have their pituitary-adrenal axis evaluated. The primary etiology of these two illnesses occurring simultaneously is extremely rare.

Keywords: Cushing's syndrome; Primary adrenal adenoma; Primary renal carcinoma.
