Recurrent lymphocytic hypophysitis in a woman 27 years after subtotal adrenalectomy for hypercortisolism possibly of autoimmune origin. Journal of the Association of Physicians of India. 2005 Dec; 53(): 1066-9http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/87642Lymphocytic hypophysitis commonly occurs in females in peripartum period but several unusual presentations have been reported. Here we report a rare case of recurrent lymphocytic hypophysitis in a woman who had subtotal adrenalectomy for hypercortisolism 27 years back. Polyglandular autoimmune endocrinopathy with an uncommon combination of Cushing's syndrome and recurrent hypophysitis is a strong possibility in this case. Treatment with steroids has been found to have beneficial effect.engAdrenalectomyCushing Syndrome --complicationsFemaleHumansInflammation --diagnosisLeukocyte Disorders --diagnosisMiddle AgedPituitary Diseases --diagnosisRecurrenceCase Reports
