Abstract

The McCune-Albright syndrome, comprising polyostotic fibrous dysplasia, cutaneous pigmentation and endocrine hyperfunction, is occasionally complicated by acromegaly due to a pituitary adenoma. We report a patient with the McCune-Albright syndrome and acromegaly, who developed secondary hypothyroidism and hypoadrenalism, in whom surgical removal of the pituitary tumour was technically difficult. A combination of a long-acting somatostatin analogue ('Sandostatin') and external irradiation were therefore used as treatment.
