Nelson's syndrome is considered a severe side effect that can occur after a total bilateral adrenalectomy in patients with Cushing's disease. It usually presents with clinical manifestations of an enlarging pituitary tumor including visual and cranial nerve alterations, and if not treated, can cause death through local brain compression or invasion. The first therapeutic option is surgery but in extreme cases of inaccessible or resistant aggressive pituitary tumors; the off-label use of chemotherapy with capecitabine and temozolomide can be considered. However, the use of this treatment is controversial due to adverse events, lack of complete response, and inability to predict results. We present the case of a 48-year-old man diagnosed with Nelson's syndrome with prolonged partial response and significant clinical benefit to treatment with capecitabine and temozolomide.
