Even though nocardiosis is one of opportunistic infections, and can occur in Cushing’s syndrome, it rarely occurs in patients with Cushing’s disease. Herein, a case with Cushing's disease in whom nocardiosis had manifested as a pulmonary lesion, which after percutaneous needle aspiration, empyema and a breast abscess were also noted.(Tuberc Respir Dis 2004; 57:61-65)
