Cushing's syndrome  

Definición

  • This disease, first described by Harvey Cushing in 1932, refers to any clinical entity due to excessive and prolonged secretion and action of glucocorticoids, although the cause of the disease may relate to any one of a number of origins. Primary hypercortisolism may be due to an adrenal cortical tumor (adenoma or carcinoma). [Source: Encyclopedia of Obesity; Cushing Syndrome]
