Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-secreting pituitary adenoma is the most common cause of endogenous Cushing's disease. Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common renal cancer and there may be many endocrine abnormalities associated with this cancer. Cushing's syndrome can be observed in patients who are diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma, although Cushing's disease is very rare. The diagnosis of Cushing's disease is made by the evaluation of clinical symptoms, endocrinological tests and radiological findings. The most effective treatment for Cushing's disease is adenomal resection, but the chance of cure with resection is lower in macroadenomas. Radiotherapy, medical treatments (such as bromocriptine, cyproheptadine, ketaconazole, pasireotide) or bilateral adrenalectomy may be considered in cases of not cured in the postoperative period. In this report, we present a patient with a diagnosis of Cushing's disease and renal cell carcinoma.
