Zusammenfassung:Introduction: The coexistence of acromegaly and Cushing’s syndrome is quite rare. Case reports with this association have been described in the literature, including both ACTH-dependent and ACTH-independent Cushing’s syndrome. In these cases, when considering ACTH-independent hypercortisolism, the main etiology reported is adrenal adenoma. We will describe the case of an acromegalic patient with ACTH-independent cushing syndrome due to adrenal cortical carcinoma. Clinical Case: A 62-year-old male patient with acromegaly diagnosed by headache investigation. He had a previous medical history of T2DM for 20 years, grade III obesity (BMI 40.3), hypertension, obstructive sleep apnea and depression. Initial investigation showed IGF-1 levels of 818 ng/mL (81–225), GH: 3.39 ng/mL (
