Additional chapters delve into Differential diagnosis of ACTH dependent Cushing´s syndrome: hormonal and radiological studies, Ectopic Cushing´s syndrome: clinical presentation and diagnosis, Cyclic Cushing´s syndrome, Mild autonomous cortisol secretion: diagnosis, Cushing´s syndrome and pregnancy: clinical presentation and diagnosis, Molecular profile of Cushing´s syndrome, Cardiometabolic comorbidities in overt Cushing´s syndrome, and New tools for the diagnosis of hypercortisolism.

Includes tactics on the proper diagnosis of hypercortisolism, a serious, multisystemic disease that, if left untreated, can lead to severe complications and increased mortality, including cardiovascular events, diabetes, and infections
Covers the diagnosis of hypercortisolism and how it is complex due to non-specific symptoms, the existence of multiple potential causes, and the variability of test results
Distinguishes between true hypercortisolism and conditions with similar symptoms, including their differences, especially in cases like subclinical, cyclic or pseudo-Cushing's syndrome
