In this case study, a 12-year-old boy with Cushing's Disease experienced a complex diagnostic journey; ultimately, a left-side ACTH-secreting microadenoma was identified and treated with gamma knife therapy, normalizing hypercortisolism but resulting in growth hormone deficiency.

In this case report, a 21-year-old woman diagnosed with ACTH-independent Cushing syndrome showed improvement in symptoms, including a more regular menstrual cycle and lower hirsutism, after starting treatment with ketoconazole, although she developed hypertension.

This case study reported a 40-year-old woman developing Cushing Syndrome months after a single intraarticular injection of Triamcinolone Acetonide, highlighting the potential long-term effects of corticosteroid exposure and the importance of awareness about these risks for clinicians and patients.

This case report highlighted a rare instance of Cushing's syndrome caused by ectopic ACTH from cervical cancer, demonstrating diagnostic challenges, treatment complexity, and high risks of morbidity and mortality, with less than 10 cases documented overall.

This study reported a rare case where a pheochromocytoma produced ACTH, leading to cyclic Cushing syndrome, and underscores the importance of considering this possibility in cases of ACTH-dependent hypercortisolism with an adrenal mass.

Successful treatment involved a non-invasive desmopressin stimulation test and right adrenalectomy, leading to improvement in symptoms and health outcomes for the patient.

This case report highlights the potential benefits of unilateral adrenalectomy in treating primary bilateral macronodular adrenal hyperplasia, noting a high rate of remission and low risk of recurrence.

In this study, a 37-year-old female with resistant hypertension and signs of Cushing's syndrome and primary aldosteronism was found to have normal cortisol levels but high levels of cortisol and aldosterone via adrenal venous sampling, leading to a diagnosis confirmed by right adrenalectomy.

In this case report, Triamcinolone Acetonide injections effectively improved mouth opening in patients with Oral Submucous Fibrosis, but both developed symptoms of Cushing's Syndrome, prompting the need for careful monitoring due to potential adverse effects when using this treatment.

This case study details the successful use of metyrapone to manage severe Cushing’s disease symptoms and stabilize a patient’s biochemical parameters before she underwent pituitary surgery.
