- Abstract
The article presents a case study of a 19-year-old male adolescent with epithelioid sarcoma of lumbar vertebrae presented with fever and shock. His spinal sarcoma had been diagnosed since he was 8 years of age and was treated with surgical resection, and recurrence of a tumor with metastases had occurred since he was 12 years of age. Two weeks following the discontinuation of hydrocortisone, adrenal reserve function was evaluated, and uncommon cause of adrenal insufficiency was concluded.
