This study described four cases of delayed diagnosis of Cushing’s syndrome, highlighting that increased clinical awareness and screening could reduce its associated morbidity and mortality.

This report of three cases found that diagnosing hypercortisolism during pregnancy can be challenging, but early detection using unbound steroid levels and MRI could prevent severe complications.

This case study highlights the significance of early diagnosis and treatment of Cushing's syndrome during pregnancy, as it is associated with severe maternal and fetal complications, including stillbirth.

This case report highlights that hair loss, though common in the general population, may be a rare presenting symptom of Cushing's disease, as observed in a woman with multiple dermatological signs of the condition.

This case study observed that long-term itraconazole and budesonide use in a cystic fibrosis patient led to iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome due to inhibited metabolic clearance of budesonide, suggesting a need for regular adrenal insufficiency monitoring in such treatments.

This study found that older patients with Cushing's syndrome had fewer typical symptoms of hypercortisolism, more comorbidities, and were more often treated conservatively compared to younger patients.

This case report from India observed that short-term cabergoline treatment brought clinical and biochemical remission in a 12-year-old with persistent Cushing disease after surgery and radiotherapy.

This study systematically compared pediatric and adult Cushing's disease patients, revealing more severe and earlier-onset symptoms in males, and distinct gender-specific clinical manifestations.

This case report describes a rare instance of a patient with anorexia nervosa who was subsequently diagnosed with Cushing's syndrome, highlighting diagnostic challenges due to overlapping symptoms.

This case series reported incidents of iatrogenic Cushing's Syndrome linked to high doses of intralesional corticosteroid injections and mesotherapy regimens, highlighting the need for cautious prescription practices and further research on mesotherapy safety.

This case report describes a pregnant woman diagnosed with Cushing Syndrome, likely due to an adrenal tumor, whose condition worsened during hospitalization, resulting in heart failure, sepsis, and shock.
