Glucocorticoids Induced White Adipose Tissue Hypermetabolism in Cushing's Syndrome.

Glucocorticoids Induced White Adipose Tissue Hypermetabolism in Cushing's Syndrome. J Nucl Med Technol. 2019 Dec 06;: Authors: Staack SO, Rosenthal AC, Cook CB, Yang M Abstract An adult lymphoma patient developed Cushing's syndrome following short-term, high-dose dexamethasone administration and presented with distinctive Cushingoid fat redistribution pattern and associated white adipose tissue increased 18F-FDG uptake. Recognition of the unique 18F-FDG uptake manifestation may aid in the diagnosis of this iatrogenic syndrome and avoid image misinterpretation. PMID: 31811068 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
