A Rare Case of <scp>ACTH</scp> ‐Secreting Pituitary Adenoma in a Pediatric Patient. Diagnosis and Management: Case Report and Literature Review
Due to its rare incidence, pituitary adenoma requires high vigilance and suspicion. Therefore, physicians should consider this differential diagnosis and perform the necessary workup, such as an overnight or standard dexamethasone suppression test and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), to rule it out if sudden hormonal changes without any other explanation are observed in children.
