Advances in understanding Cushing's syndrome pathogenesis and diagnosis have improved detection of mild hypercortisolism. However, atypical presentations and lab issues still pose diagnostic challenges, requiring careful clinical evaluation.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Internal Medicine
  • Medical Diagnostics

Background:

  • Significant progress in understanding Cushing's syndrome pathogenesis over 30 years.
  • Improved diagnostic tests enhance recognition of mild hypercortisolism.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Review recent pathogenic insights in Cushing's syndrome.
  • Discuss advancements in diagnostic tests and procedures.
  • Highlight current diagnostic challenges and atypical presentations.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of recent pathogenic views and diagnostic advancements.
  • Analysis of new diagnostic tests and procedures for Cushing's syndrome.
  • Case report/discussion of atypical clinical presentations and laboratory shortcomings.
