Cushing's syndrome caused by adrenal cortical adenoma was diagnosed through endocrine and radiologic examination. We let her keep pregnancy through adjusting hypercorticolism with metyrapone to restrain abnormal steroidogenesis during pregnancy. After delivery, we carried out adrenalectomy through laparoscopic surgery and then can't find out any problem to be appeared to the mother and her neonate. We report this case with brief discussion.
