OBJECTIVE: Cushing Disease (CD) presents with typical clinical findings, even though, there is a wide spectrum of manifestations. Over the years, the sings and symptoms of Cushing's syndrome (CS) have become more subtle and atypical forms of CS have emerged. In this study, we aimed to investigate the changes in the clinical presentation of CD in recent years.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this study, CD patients followed by our center were examined. A total of 258 patients with CD were included in the study. The clinical findings at the time of presentation, laboratory and imaging findings, treatment modalities and remission status in the first year after treatment were evaluated.
RESULTS: The mean age of the patients included in the study was 41.3 ±13.28 years. CD patients diagnosed between 2013 and 2023 were older than those diagnosed between 1990 and 2012 (p < 0.001). There was no difference between the groups in terms of gender. Moon face, purple striae, hirsutism, and menstrual irregularities were statistically significantly less frequent in the last 10 years than in previous years (p < 0.001; p = 0.004; p < 0.001; p < 0.001, respectively). In addition, patients who applied after 2013 had lower baseline cortisol and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) levels, and a smaller median size of the pituitary adenoma. Limitations of the study include its retrospective design and the subjectivity of clinical data.
CONCLUSION: As the clinical presentation of Cushing's disease changes over time, waiting for the typical Cushing's clinic can delay diagnosis. It is important that clinicians take this into account when they suspect CD.
