Cushing syndrome is a rare disease that results from having too much cortisol hormone in the body. In some cases, Cushing syndrome develops from long-term or overuse of steroid medications(medicines that act like cortisol in the body). In other cases, the body itself produces too much cortisol. This overproduction can happen for several reasons, including the presence of tumors(abnormal growths) such as a:. , MD. FRCPA,KSUF,EBP. Adrenal Glands.
