Spontaneous Remission Of Cushing’s Disease

Abstract

The natural course of Cushing’s disease has been obscured by the difficulties of diagnosis of the milder forms and the relative infrequency of the disorder. The case confirms earlier clinical observations that spontaneous remission may occur. Although most patients with Cushing’s disease require surgical or radiologic intervention, continued observation may be preferable in a case, like the one reported, with mild clinical disease and without evidence of osteoporosis, diabetes mellitus and other complicating features.
