Abstract: Evans syndrome (ES) is anecdotal and incidental combination of autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) and immune thrombocytopenia (ITP); occurrence may be simultaneous and sequential. Cushing’s syndrome along with ES is just a co-existence and very rare combination. We report a case of Cushing’s syndrome with ES in a 26 years old female who has undergone splenectomy for AIHA treatment. She was diagnosed with ITP and AIHA remission after splenectomy. Simultaneously the patient presented with Cushing’s syndrome probably due to long term steroids use. Due to its rarity, this report shed light on clinical features, investigational procedures, management and outcomes in this particular combin ation.
