ABSTRACT
The differential diagnosis of Cushing's syndrome requires careful multidisciplinary interaction with a number of specialities, co-ordinated through endocrine centres with good experience of this condition. It is essential that the diagnosis of Cushing's syndrome be fully established before differential diagnosis is attempted. The endocrinologist needs to be aware of the pitfalls and advantages of the tests in use. We discuss the approach to the differential diagnosis of this challenging condition.
RESUMO
O diagnóstico diferencial da síndrome de Cushing requer uma interação multidisciplinar cuidadosa entre várias especialidades, coordenadas através de centros de endocrinologia com boa experiência nessa condição. É essencial que o diagnóstico da síndrome de Cushing seja estabelecido antes da tentativa de diagnóstico diferencial. O endocrinologista precisa estar atento às possíveis falhas e vantagens dos testes empregados. Nós discutiremos a abordagem do diagnóstico diferencial nessa condição desafiadora.
