Cushing's Syndrome From Pituitary Microadenoma and Pulmonary Nodules.

Cushing's Syndrome From Pituitary Microadenoma and Pulmonary Nodules. Oncol Nurs Forum. 2016 Mar 1;43(2):136-40 Authors: Tating DL, Montevirgen ND, Cajucom L Abstract Cushing's syndrome is a state of cortisol excess, possibly from a tumor in the pituitary gland, the adrenal gland, or an ectopic nonpituitary ACTH-secreting source. The first form, pituitary in origin, was originally described by Harvey Cushing, MD, and was labeled as Cushing's disease. Long-term therapy with glucocorticoids also can lead to iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome. PMID: 26906124 [PubMed - in process]
