Flashcard 352: Cushing disease refers specifically to a(n) _____
Answer: ACTH-secreting pituitary adenoma

Cushing **disease** is specifically hypercortisolism caused by an ACTH-secreting pituitary adenoma (a form of ACTH-dependent Cushing syndrome).
**Diagnostic Pathway:**
1. Confirm hypercortisolism (e.g., 24-hour urinary free cortisol, late-night salivary cortisol, or low-dose dexamethasone suppression test).
2. Measure plasma ACTH.
- Low ACTH: Adrenal tumor or exogenous steroids.
- High ACTH: Cushing disease (pituitary) or Ectopic ACTH (e.g., small cell lung cancer).
