Abstract

Subclinical Cushing syndrome coexisting with multiple myeloma has not been not previously reported. This case report demonstrates the coexistence of these 2 diseases and the associated treatment dilemma. Theoretically, successful treatment of Cushing syndrome could negatively impact the usual treatment of multiple myeloma.
