Abstract

A severe bilateral, culture-negative pneumonia was diagnosed in a 22-year-old woman. Additional diagnostic procedures accidentally revealed a large adrenal carcinoma and hypercortisolism. The adrenal carcinoma was surgically removed, and she received mitotane treatment. This severe and life-threatening infection was the first sign of an immunosuppressive state as part of Cushing's syndrome due to the adrenal carcinoma
