title: [Endogenous Cushing's syndrome: new insights].
abstract: Endogenous Cushing's syndrome is a rare but devastating endocrine disease which is caused by inappropriately elevated cortisol levels. Even after biochemical cure patients often suffer from severe morbidity and increased mortality. This manuscript addresses some currently published findings on this field, allowing for a better understanding of the disease.
