Abstract:
:Polyglandular syndromes have been described for many years but only one case of panhypopituitarism with adrenal and thyroid insufficiencies has been documented. We present a 69-year-old woman with the initial diagnosis of idiopathic primary hypopituitarism. An associated primary adrenal disease was suspected on low plasma aldosterone and increased plasma renin values during unjustified withdrawal of treatment. The complete absence of cortisol response to long-term ACTH administration confirmed the diagnosis. In addition, primary hypothyroidism was demonstrated by the absence of radioiodine uptake by the thyroid gland and the inability to increase T4 secretion after repeated TSH injections. The pattern of hypopituitarism and the coexistence of both adrenal and thyroid deficiencies provide strong evidence for the diagnosis of autoimmune polyglandular syndrome with hypophysitis.
