- Authors
Field, Kathryn M.; Cassumbhoy, Robin; Murray, Bill; Mileshkin, Linda
- Abstract
This discussion highlights key investigations required when making a diagnosis of Cushing's syndrome in cancer patients. The striking radiologic findings, together with the unusual clinical picture, will provide a valuable reminder of endocrinologic diagnoses that may overlap with oncologic investigations, in addition to a review of the methods by which Cushing's syndrome and its source are diagnosed.
