[Cushing's syndrome].
Cushing's syndrome results from inappropriate exposure to excessive endogenous glucocorticoids. Untreated, it has an important morbidity and a significant mortality. The syndrome remains a challenge to diagnose and manage. Here, we propose algorithms for the diagnosis of Cushing's syndrome and its cause, and review pathogenesis, clinical features, and treatment.
