Liver cirrhosis as well as Cushing's syndrome have quite characteristic clinical picture that usually leads to an early diagnosis. Here we present a rather complex case of a 46-year-old patient with an unusual coincidence of Cushing's disease and cirrhosis causing complications during diagnostic evaluation and particularly during the treatment of both diseases.

Keywords: liver cirrhosis, viral hepatitis, Cushing's syndrome, pituitary adenoma.
