We report a patient with a history of orchiectomy for Leydig cell tumor of the testis who developed Cushing syndrome. This syndrome was due to ectopic production of cortisol and was the primary feature of tumor recurrence.

Approach to Endocrine Hypertension: A Case-Based Discussion.
Curr Hypertens Rep
January 2025
Department of Endocrinology, Kasturba Medical College, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Manipal, 576104, India.
Purpose Of Review: Hypertension remains a major chronic disease morbidity across the world, even in the twenty-first century, affecting ≈40% of the global population, adversely impacting the healthcare budgets in managing the high incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) complications and mortality because of elevated blood pressure (BP). However, evaluation and management of endocrine hypertension are not optimal in clinical practice. With three unique clinical case scenarios, we update the evidence base for diagnostic evaluation and management of endocrine hypertension in this review to inform appropriate day-to-day clinical practice decisions.

Metabolic, hormonal profiles and comorbidities in pituitary Cushing's syndrome, adrenal Cushing's syndrome and mild autonomous cortisol secretion: a comparative study.
Postgrad Med
January 2025
Department of Endocrinology, Ankara City Hospital, Ankara, Türkiye.
Purpose: Our study aimed to discern disparities in metabolic, hormonal profiles, and comorbidities among patients with pituitary Cushing (PC), adrenal Cushing (AC), and Mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS).
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis involving 76 patients diagnosed with PC ( = 26), AC ( = 21), and MACS ( = 29) at our clinic. We compared the groups' demographic data, clinical characteristics, biochemical profiles, hormonal analyses, and surgical interventions.
Patient signalment and aetiology of hypercortisolism in Australian dogs with Cushing's syndrome.
Aust Vet J
January 2025
Vetnostics, Macquarie Park, New South Wales, Australia.
Objective: Patient characteristics of Cushing's syndrome differ between countries and have not been assessed in the Australian dog population. This study describes signalment and distribution of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-dependent hypercortisolism (ADH) and ACTH-independent hypercortisolism (AIH) in Australian dogs.
Animals: Two-hundred client-owned dogs that had endogenous ACTH concentrations measured by radioimmunoassay.
