"What populations are most likely to have subclinical Cushing's syndrome?
One might look for SCS in two main patient populations with the expectation that making this diagnosis would lead to a beneficial therapeutic intervention: 1) patients with an incidentally discovered tumor that may inappropriately secrete cortisol (adrenal gland) or ACTH (pituitary gland). Usually these lesions are called incidentalomas. 2) patients that display non-specific pathologies that may be secondary to hypercortisolism such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, osteoporosis etc.."
