PITUITARY DEPENDENT CUSHING\'S SYNDROME IN IRAN
During a 5-year experience with 32 adrenal tumors with different basic problems in the Department of Endocrinology , Taleghani Hospital, 25 were found pituitary dependent Cushing's syndrome, "Cushing's disease." The treatment of patients with Cushing's disease depends on the presence or absence of pituitary tumor. Ifno pituitary tumor is demonstrated, irradiation can be given to the pituit...
متن کاملCushing Disease After Treatment of Nonfunctional Pituitary Adenoma
We describe a very rare case of nonfunctional pituitary adenoma (NFPA) that exhibited corticotrophic activity after resection and radiotherapy. The possible mechanisms of the transformation from NFPA to Cushing disease (CD) are discussed.A 43-year-old man presented with impaired vision, bilateral frontal headaches, and hyposexuality. He had no symptoms suggestive of hypercortisolism, and 8 am p...
متن کاملPituitary and adrenal CT of Cushing syndrome.
Determination of the site of excessive hormone production in Cushing syndrome is possible with biochemical tests in 80% of cases. High-resolution CT of both the pituitary and adrenal glands was used to evaluate eight patients with surgically verified ACTH-secreting pituitary microadenomas and one patient with ectopic Cushing syndrome. Three ACTH-secreting microadenomas were demonstrated by CT. ...
متن کاملA survey of clinical practice patterns in diagnosis and management of Cushing\'s disease in Iran
Background: Cushing's disease is the most prevalent cause of endogenous adrenocorticotrophic hormone hypersecretion. The aim of this study was to document the current clinical practice pattern in the management of Cushing's disease by Iranian Endocrinologists to determine their opinions and compare them with the current clinical practice guidelines. Methods: An eight-item questi...
متن کاملRecent advances in understanding Cushing disease: resistance to glucocorticoid negative feedback and somatic USP8 mutations
Cushing's disease is a rare disease with a characteristic phenotype due to significant hypercortisolism driven by over-secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone and to high morbidity and mortality if untreated. It is caused by a corticotroph adenoma of the pituitary, but the exact mechanisms leading to tumorigenesis are not clear. Recent advances in molecular biology such as the discovery of som...
