Article Synopsis
- Endogenous Cushing's syndrome, although rare, is increasingly recognized, leading to more referrals to specialized medical centers due to a better understanding of its clinical features across various medical specialties.
- Symptoms are caused by excessive cortisol and can include central obesity, mood swings, fatigue, and increased risk of infections, particularly in patients with conditions like hypertension, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome.
- Effective diagnosis requires differentiation from pseudo-Cushing's conditions, with a focus on specific physical signs, and emphasizes the need for improved education and training for healthcare providers to better identify and manage this complex endocrine disorder.
