BACKGROUND Cushing syndrome is characterized by glucose intolerance, cardiovascular disease, and an enhanced systemic inflammatory response caused by chronic exposure to excess cortisol. Eosinopenia is frequently observed in patients with adrenal Cushing syndrome, but the relationship between the eosinophil count in peripheral blood and indicators of glucose level in patients with adrenal Cushi...

 Abstract Thymic carcinoid is an uncommon neoplasm that can present with Cushing syndrome. We report a 39-year old woman with symptoms of Cushing syndrome secondary to thymic carcinoid and synchronous with tuberculous lymphadenitis and pulmonary tuberculosis. 

The objective of this study is to report three cases of paraneoplastic or ectopic Cushing syndrome, which is a rare phenomenon of the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-dependent Cushing syndrome. Three cases are reported in respect of clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment in addition to relevant literature review. The results showed that ectopic ACTH secretion can be associated with d...

could delineate Cushing's character and characteristics quite as well as has Cushing himself. The reader may well wish that more of such material had been included. The book is singularly free of observable technical errors, the most significant one is the statement on page 88 where we find that Cushing sailed from Boston on the 30th of June to arrive (says Cushing) "in Liverpool harbor on June...

OBJECTIVE Endogenous Cushing syndrome in children is a rare disorder that is most frequently caused by pituitary or adrenocortical tumors. Diagnostic criteria have generally been derived from studies of adult patients despite significant differences in both the physiology of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and the epidemiology of Cushing syndrome in childhood. The purpose of this study ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cushing syndrome appears after chronic exposure to elevated glucocorticoid levels. Cortisol excess may alter white matter microstructure. Our purpose was to study WM changes in patients with Cushing syndrome compared with controls by using DTI and the influence of hypercortisolism. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-five patients with Cushing syndrome and 35 healthy controls,...

The relationship among obesity, impaired glucose tolerance or diabetes, hypertension, and gonadal dysfunction was initially recognized in two clinical syndromes described early in the 20th century. In 1932, Harvey Cushing reported these findings as well as other features of endogenous hypercortisolism in patients with small basophilic pituitary adenomas (1). A decade earlier, two French physici...
