Síndrome de Cushing resulta do excesso de hormônios corticosteroides no corpo devido a hiperestimulação da glândula adrenal induzido por quantidades excessivas de hormônio adenocorticotrófico (ACTH), secretadas por um tumor da hipófise (doença de Cushing) ou por um tumor maligno de pulmão ou outra localização. Sintomas incluem ganho de peso, vermelhidão de rosto e pescoço, crescimento excessivo dos pelos do corpo e da face, aumento da pressão arterial, perda de minerais dos ossos (osteoporose), aumento dos níveis de glicose no sangue e, às vezes, distúrbios mentais. | |||
