間歇的低カリウム血症を呈するプレクッシング症候群69歳女1例.プレクッシング症候群のみならずクッシング症候群を含めてもこの間歇的低カリウム血症を伴う症例の報告は, 本邦第1例目である

An adrenal tumor was discovered in a patient with intermittent hypokalemia for 8 years. She had no clinical features of Cushing's syndrome. The case was regarded as pre-Cushing's syndrome by endocrinological evaluation. Our findings suggest that intermittent hypokalemia is a sign of drifting hormonal activities and may appear in a premature status of pre-Cushing's syndrome.
