Article Synopsis
- Non-neoplastic hypercortisolaemia, or pseudo-Cushing's syndrome (PCS), can occur due to various health conditions like depression, obesity, and diabetes, linked to overactivity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis.
- A 66-year-old woman exhibited symptoms such as weakness, weight loss, and poorly controlled hypertension, which led to the discovery of pheochromocytoma, a tumor that causes hormone overproduction, upon further testing.
- After undergoing surgery to remove the tumor and receiving supportive treatment, her symptoms improved significantly, confirming the diagnosis of PCS rather than traditional Cushing's syndrome.
