Article Synopsis
- - Cushing's disease, a rare condition caused by excess ACTH from a pituitary adenoma, leads to high cortisol levels and various symptoms like obesity and hypertension, resulting in significant health risks.
- - This paper discusses a unique case of a 30-year-old woman with Cushing's disease who developed calcinosis cutis (calcium deposits in the skin), which hasn't been reported in this context before.
- - Treatment for calcinosis cutis is complicated and not well-established, with the authors suggesting that addressing the underlying hypercortisolism is crucial for resolution, as their attempt with colchicine and bisphosphonates had limited success.
