A pregnancy complicated by Cushing’s syndrome is a high-risk obstetric condition. The overlap in clinical features with pregnancy, as well as its rare occurrence, makes the diagnosis of Cushing’s syndrome difficult and often leads to late detection. Hereby, we are reporting a pregnant patient with Cushing’s syndrome who presented with metabolic alkalosis and severe hypokalemia diagnosed to have adrenal adenoma. Adrenalectomy remains to be the definitive cure for Cushing’s syndrome secondary to an adrenal adenoma.
