Malignant tumors, nevertheless, have been associated with extremely high circulating ACTH and cortisol levels, short duration of symptoms Cushing syndrome (CS) besides atypical clinical phenotype, when compared pituitary-dependent Cushing. A 33-year-old woman a history insulin-induced diabetes admitted to our department for suspicion ACTH-dependent Cushing's held in front : clinic, biological s...

Adrenal masses that are found incidentally should be evaluated with both imaging and hormonal studies. The attenuation coefficient on noncontrast computed tomography (CT), expressed in Hounsfield units (HU), is better than tumor size in differentiating adrenal adenomas and hyperplastic lesions from nonadenomas. All patients should undergo hormonal evaluation for Cushing syndrome and pheochromoc...

Cushing syndrome due to the administration of pharmacologic doses of glucocorticoids is common, whereas hypercortisolism from an adrenal mass is quite rare. Adrenal masses are incidentally detected with a prevalence ranging from 8.7–12.4%, and most of these lesions are hormonally inactive. In this article, we describe a unique patient with a glucocorticoid-producing adrenal mass who was diagnos...

La fréquence des thromboses veineuses profondes au cours du syndrome de Cushing varie de 7 à 25%. Elles sont secondaires à des mécanismes multiples : élévation des taux des facteurs VIII, IX et de Von Willebrand, une réduction du TCA et une augmentation du TP. Nous rapportons l'observation d'une thrombose de la veine porte dont l'exploration étiologique a conduit au diagnostic du syndrome de Cu...

BACKGROUND Steroid cell tumors of ovary account for less than 0.1% of all ovarian tumors and these tumours may present at any age in association with interesting presentations related to hormonal activities. The subtype, not otherwise specified (NOS), is associated with androgenic changes in 56-77% and Cushing syndrome in 6-10%. Due to the rarity of available data regarding these tumors, little...

Ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) syndrome is a challenging diagnosis only responsible for approximately 10% of Cushing syndrome cases. It has been associated with a variety of benign and malignant tumors including a carcinoid tumor accompanied by aspergilloma in our case that was significantly difficult to be detected. We report a patient over 70 years old with uncontrolled hypertensi...
