We report a 30 years old woman with sporadic poliglandular autoimmune syndrome type II, first seen with an insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and a Graves-Basedow disease that became spontaneously hypothyroid with positive antimicrosomal antibodies. Six years later she presented with persistent vomiting and a remarkable reduction in insulin requirements. She had low basal and stimulated-cortisol levels and the diagnosis of severe adrenal failure was reached. A CT scan showed normal adrenal glands, she did not have cutaneous hyperpigmentation nor evidences of mineralocorticoid deficit. A selective autoimmune damage of the fascicular zone was assumed but a selective damage of ACTH producing pituitary cells cannot be discarded. The importance of investigating adrenal function in cases of unexplained reduction of insulin requirements is emphasized.
