- Cushing disease (CD) is caused by overproduction of adrenocorticotropin by a pituitary adenoma (or, rarely, carcinoma). The diagnosis of CD requires distinguishing it from other hypercortisolemic states with a thorough endocrine workup. CD remains a primarily surgical disease, with remission rates of 70% to 95% following microscopic or endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery.
