Se presenta el caso de un varón de 44 años con hipertensión arterial (HTA) de 14 años de evolución, resistente a varios fármacos, que ingresó por infarto agudo de miocardio (IAM) y en el que se realizó estudio endocrinológico ante la sospecha de HTA secundaria por el fenotipo, la edad de comienzo y la resistencia al tratamiento. Se detectó un síndrome de Cushing cíclico de dudoso origen inicialmente, que resultó ser adrenal tras la realización de pruebas funcionales y de imagen. El síndrome de Cushing cíclico es una entidad clínica infrecuente que suele tener un origen hipofisario.

We present the case of a 44-year-old male with a 14- year history of arterial hypertension resistant to several drug therapies. The patient was hospitalized for acute myocardial infarction. For reasons of phenotype, age of onset of hypertension and there being drug resistance, secondary arterial hypertension was suspected and an endocrinological study was performed. Cyclic Cushing’s Syndrome, the origin of which was initially unknown, was detected. After the realization of functional and imaging tests, it was determined to be adrenal in nature. Cushing’s Syndrome is a rare clinical manifestation that is usually hypophysial in origin.
