Cushing's syndrome is usually caused by the secretion of corticotropin or cortisol by a pituitary or adrenal tumor, respectively, or by ectopic secretion of corticotropin. It is possible to determine the specific abnormality in most patients, but it can sometimes be difficult to decide whether the patient has hypercortisolism and whether it is primary ...

A 45 year old woman was being regularly reviewed in primary and secondary care because of a five year history of type 2 diabetes that had required early insulin treatment; refractory hypertension; and subsequent chronic kidney disease. She had previously described other symptoms, including weight gain, bruising, flushes, and low mood, all of which had ...

Subclinical Cushing’s syndrome
Best Practice & Research Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2012The routine use of abdominal procedure has significantly increased the incidental finding of adrenal masses. The prevalence of these tumors, commonly defined as adrenal incidentalomas, ranges between 2-3% in autopsy and 4% in radiological series, reaching 5-8% in oncological studies and increasing with patients age. Although clinically silent, in 5-20%

AbstractCushing's syndrome (CS) results from prolonged exposure to elevated endogenous cortisol. Majority of cases are caused by ACTH, pituitary, or ectopic origin. Primary adrenal hypersecretion is 15–20% caused by adenomas, carcinomas (ACC), and rarely by nodular adrenocortical disease. CS presents with all typical features.

The 10 years since this journal's last review of CS have seen extraordinary advances in our understanding of many aspects of its causes, diagnosis, and treatment. The spectrum of what are now called the Cushing syndromes has expanded considerably to include CD, multiple sources of ectopic ACTH secretion, and an apparent autoimmune cause.

Cyclic Cushing's syndrome is a rare but increasingly recognized disorder of periodic fluctuations of adrenal steroid production. A case of cyclic Cushing's syndrome due to a pituitary adenoma is described. The patient demonstrated a prolonged cycle length of approximately six months, during which a spontaneous remission occurred both clinically and ...

Cushing's Syndrome and Dermatomycosis
Archives of Dermatology, 1959Introduction Cushing's syndrome, whether it reflects primary adrenal cortical hyperfunction, or hypercorticalism secondary to pituitary basophilism, is a rare disease. A review of the records at the Bronx Veterans Administration Hospital for the period 1948—1958 produced a total of only eight such cases.

Androgens in Cushing’s Syndrome
2019Although polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common androgen excess disorder, screening for Cushing's Syndrome (CS) should be considered in women with PCOS phenotype, particularly if they are also affected by other disturbances that increase their pretest probability (e.g., osteoporosis/bone fractures).
