ABSTRACT
Bilateral inferior petrosal sinus sampling(BIPSS), with or without desmopressin stimulation, is the gold standard in the diagnosis of Cushing′s disease. A few of patients with Cushing′s disease present a false negative result in BIPSS. These patients are often misdiagnosed as ectopic adrenocorticotropin(ACTH) syndrome(EAS). Here we report a case of Cushing′s disease with a false negative BIPSS, in the hope to aid clinical physicians in the differential diagnosis and treatment of ACTH-dependent Cushing′s syndrome.
