  • Title: Cushing's disease presenting as pubertal arrest.
    Author: Zadik Z, Cooper M, Chen M, Stern N.
    Journal: J Pediatr Endocrinol; 1993; 6(2):201-4. PubMed ID: 8348226.
    Abstract:
    The clinical features of Cushing's disease in childhood are usually abnormal fat distribution, moon face, growth failure and hirsutism. Laboratory studies include evidence of cortisol and ACTH hypersecretion. This report concerns a boy who presented only with arrested puberty and growth failure as physical evidence of Cushing's syndrome and showed rapid progression of puberty once pituitary adenomas were removed.
