Entry term(s) enfermedad de Cushing
hipersecreción hipofisaria de corticotropina
secreción de hormona adrenocorticotrópica inapropiada
secreción inapropiada de hormona adrenocorticotropa
síndrome de secreción inapropiada de ACTH
Scope note: Enfermedad de la GLÁNDULA PITUITARIA caracterizada por la excesiva cantidad de CORTICOTROPINA segregada. Esto produce una hipersecreción de cortisol (HIDROCORTISONA) por las GLÁNDULAS SUPRARRENALES que da lugar al SÍNDROME DE CUSHING.Enfermedad de la HIPÓFISIS caracterizada por secreción en cantidad excesiva de CORTICOTROPINA, lo que lleva a hipersecreción de cortisol (HIDROCORTISONA) por las GLÁNDULAS SUPRARRENALES, lo que da lugar al SÍNDROME DE CUSHING.

Scope note: A disease of the PITUITARY GLAND characterized by the excess amount of ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE secreted. This leads to hypersecretion of cortisol (HYDROCORTISONE) by the ADRENAL GLANDS resulting in CUSHING SYNDROME.
