    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Cushing's syndrome presents diagnostic challenges, often lacking definitive criteria.
    • Clinical features are paramount, supported by diagnostic tests.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review diagnostic and management strategies for Cushing's syndrome.
    • To compare clinical findings with literature reports.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 16 verified and 12 probable Cushing's syndrome cases.
    • Comparison of case data with existing literature on Cushing's syndrome.

    Main Results:

    • Diagnosis requires high clinical suspicion; major criteria may be absent.
    • Exploration is justified for borderline lab results if cause is unclear.
    • Surgical management involves complete adrenal cortical tumor removal or subtotal resection for hyperplasia.

    Conclusions:

    • Clinical presentation is key for Cushing's syndrome diagnosis.
    • Surgical intervention is crucial for adrenal tumors and hyperplasia.
    • Management strategies require careful consideration of clinical and laboratory findings.
