Zusammenfassung: | This report adds a new example to the curious association of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia with various endocrine disorders. A girl developed symptoms of Cushing's syndrome at the age of 1 month. Total bilateral adrenalectomy was carried out when the infant was 4 months of age. Both glands showed nodular adrenal cortical hyperplasia.
