Subclinical Cushing syndrome: a review.
[cushing syndrome]
Owing
to
its
diagnostic
challenges
,
subclinical
Cushing
syndrome
(
SCS
)
is
likely
to
be
highly
underdiagnosed
and
undertreated
,
and
the
overall
incidence
may
be
as
high
as
5
%
to
20
%
in
patients
with
adrenal
incidentalomas
.
The
diagnosis
can
be
established
by
a
systematic
and
thorough
biochemical
evaluation
.
SCS
has
been
associated
with
significant
morbidity
,
which
at
least
partly
may
be
reversed
by
surgery
.
Given
the
low
rates
of
complications
and
the
possibility
to
reverse
the
detrimental
effects
of
elevated
cortisol
secretion
,
minimally
invasive
adrenalectomy
is
recommended
for
patients
with
biochemically
proven
or
suspected
SCS
who
are
appropriate
surgical
candidates
.
