Abstract :
Background: Although a nodular thyroid disease is higher in patients with pituitary
adenoma, concurrent thyroid cancer with pituitary tumor is uncommon.
Case Presentation: We report a young woman with discovered papillary thyroid carcinoma
after 1-year transsphenoidal surgery for Cushing’s disease. Thyroidectomy was done and
patient is well after three years follow-up.
Conclusion: We suggest the patient with functional pituitary adenoma be evaluated for
thyroid tumor.
