Study Results from Mayo Clinic in the Area of Cushing's Syndrome Reported (Endoscopic Endonasal Transsphenoidal Resection for Mri-negative Cushing Disease With 2 Separate Functioning Pituitary Adenomas Neuroendocrine Tumors: 2-dimensional...).

A study conducted at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, has reported on the treatment of Cushing's Syndrome, a condition characterized by excess cortisol production. The study focused on patients with MRI-negative Cushing's Disease, where no visible tumor is detected despite advanced imaging techniques. The researchers described a case of a 42-year-old woman with MRI-negative Cushing's Disease and two functioning pituitary adenomas. The patient underwent an endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery, during which two distinct tumors were identified and successfully removed. The study emphasizes the importance of thorough gland exploration and selective tumor resection for optimal remission. [Extracted from the article]
