Study protocol for a prospective, multicentre study of hypercortisolism in patients with difficult-to-control type 2 diabetes (CATALYST): prevalence and treatment with mifepristone.

INTRODUCTION: Even with recent treatment advances, type 2 diabetes (T2D) remains poorly controlled for many patients, despite the best efforts to adhere to therapies and lifestyle modifications. Although estimates vary, studies indicate that in >10% of individuals with difficult-to-control T2D, hypercortisolism may be an underlying contributing cause. To better understand the prevalence of hypercortisolism and the impact of its treatment on T2D and associated comorbidities, we describe the two-part Hyper c ortisolism in P at ients with Difficult to Control Type 2 Di a betes Despite Receiving Standard-of-Care Therapies: Preva l ence and Treatment with Korl y m® (Mifepri st one) (CATALYST) trial. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: In part 1, approximately 1000 participants with difficult-to-control T2D (haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) 7.5%-11.5% despite multiple therapies) are screened with a 1 mg dexamethasone suppression test (DST). Those with post-DST cortisol >1.8 µg/dL and dexamethasone level ≥140 ng/dL are identified to have hypercortisolism (part 1 primary endpoint), have morning adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) measured and undergo a non-contrast adrenal CT scan. Those requiring evaluation for elevated ACTH are referred for care outside the study; those with ACTH and DHEAS in the range may advance to part 2, a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the impact of treating hypercortisolism with the competitive glucocorticoid receptor antagonist mifepristone (Korlym®). Participants are randomised 2:1 to mifepristone or placebo for 24 weeks, stratified by the presence/absence of an abnormal adrenal CT scan. Mifepristone is dosed at 300 mg once daily for 4 weeks, then 600 mg daily based on tolerability and clinical improvement, with an option to increase to 900 mg. The primary endpoint of part 2 assesses changes in HbA1c in participants with hypercortisolism with or without abnormal adrenal CT scan. Secondary endpoints include changes in antidiabetes medications, cortisol-related comorbidities and quality of life. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The study has been approved by Cleveland Clinic IRB (Cleveland, Ohio, USA) and Advarra IRB (Columbia, Maryland, USA). Findings will be presented at scientific meetings and published in peer-reviewed journals. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT05772169.

Drug development and potential targets for Cushing's syndrome.

Cushing's syndrome (CS) is a complex disorder characterized by the excessive secretion of cortisol, with Cushing's disease (CD), particularly associated with pituitary tumors, exhibiting heightened morbidity and mortality. Although transsphenoidal pituitary surgery (TSS) stands as the primary treatment for CD, there is a crucial need to optimize patient prognosis. Current medical therapy serves as an adjunctive measure due to its unsatisfactory efficacy and unpredictable side effects. In this comprehensive review, we delve into recent advances in understanding the pathogenesis of CS and explore therapeutic options by conducting a critical analysis of potential drug targets and candidates. Additionally, we provide an overview of the design strategy employed in previously reported candidates, along with a summary of structure-activity relationship (SAR) analyses and their biological efficacy. This review aims to contribute valuable insights to the evolving landscape of CS research, shedding light on potential avenues for therapeutic development.

No requirement of perioperative glucocorticoid replacement in patients with endogenous Cushing's syndrome - a pilot study.

PURPOSE: Surgical therapy represents the first-line treatment for endogenous Cushing's syndrome (CS). While postoperative glucocorticoid replacement is mandatory after surgical remission, the role of perioperative glucocorticoid therapy is unclear. METHODS: We recruited patients with central or adrenal CS in whom curative surgery was planned and patients who underwent pituitary surgery for other reasons than CS as a control group. Patients did not receive any perioperative glucocorticoids until the morning of the first postoperative day. We performed blood samplings in the morning of surgery, immediately after surgery, in the evening of the day of surgery, and in the morning of the first and third postoperative day before any morning glucocorticoid intake. We continued clinical and biochemical monitoring during the following outpatient care. RESULTS: We recruited 12 patients with CS (seven with central CS, five with adrenal CS) and six patients without CS. In patients with CS, serum cortisol concentrations <5.0 µg/dL (<138 nmol/L) were detected in the morning of the first and third postoperative day in four (33%) and six (50%) patients, respectively. Morning serum cortisol concentrations on the third postoperative day were significantly lower when compared to preoperative measurements (8.5 ± 7.6 µg/dL vs. 19.9 ± 8.9 µg/dL [235 ± 210 nmol/L vs. 549 ± 246 nmol/L], p = 0.023). No patient developed clinical or biochemical signs associated with hypocortisolism. During follow-up, we first observed serum cortisol concentrations >5.0 µg/dL (>138 nmol/L) after 129 ± 97 days and glucocorticoids were discontinued after 402 ± 243 days. Patients without CS did not require glucocorticoid replacement at any time. CONCLUSION: Perioperative glucocorticoid replacement may be unnecessary in patients with central or adrenal CS undergoing curative surgery as first-line treatment.

The thrombotic risk in Cushing's syndrome-questions, answers, and the algorithm to consider in its assessment: part I-thrombotic risk not related to surgery.

Introduction: Recently, it has been reported that there is a great diversity in strategies used for thromboprophylaxis in patients with Cushing's syndrome (CS). An aim of this review was to discuss these practices in light of the existing data on the thrombotic risk in patients with CS and guidelines for medically ill patients. Methods: The four relevant topics and questions on thrombotic risk in CS were identified. The current guidelines on prevention and diagnosis of venous thromboembolism (VTE) were reviewed for the answers. An algorithm to consider in the assessment of the thrombotic risk in patients with CS was proposed. Results: To address both generic and CS-specific risk factors for VTE, the algorithm includes the stepwise approach consisting of Padua Score, urine free cortisol, and CS-VTE score, with no indication for routine thrombophilia testing in the prediction of an index VTE episode. Having confirmed VTE, selected patients require thrombophilia testing to aid the duration of anticoagulant treatment. The separate part of the algorithm is devoted to patients with ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone syndrome in whom exclusion of VTE precedes introducing routine thromboprophylaxis to prevent VTE. The cancer-related VTE also prompts thromboprophylaxis, with the possible vessel invasion. The algorithm presents a unifactorial and multifactorial approach to exclude high-bleeding risks and safely introduce thromboprophylaxis with low-molecular-weight heparin. Summary: Our article is the first to present an algorithm to consider in the thrombotic risk assessment among patients with Cushing's syndrome as a starting point for a broader discussion in the environment. A plethora of factors affect the VTE risk in patients with CS, but no studies have conclusively evaluated the best thromboprophylaxis strategy so far. Future studies are needed to set standards of care.

[Functional hypercortisolism in mental disorder - association with psychopathological manifestations and course of the disease]. / Funktsional'nyi giperkortitsizm pri psikhicheskom rasstroistve ­ assotsiatsiya s psikhopatologicheskimi proyavleniyami i techeniem zabolevaniya.

The article presents a case of a long-term mental disorder in a 35-year-old woman with a persistent laboratory-confirmed increase in cortisol levels, without clinical manifestations of hypercortisolism. The first signs of mental illness appeared at the age of 14; over the past 8 years, the disease has been continuous and manifests itself in the form of a predominantly depressive state with increasing severity and complication of symptoms. Throughout all the years of the disease, active psychopharmacotherapy was carried out, combinations of antidepressants with antipsychotics and mood stabilizers were used, but no pronounced effect was achieved. Inpatient treatment in the clinic of the Mental Health Research Center for 5 months using several methods of enhancing antidepressant therapy had a good therapeutic effect and made it possible to achieve complete remission of the disease. There was a normalization of laboratory parameters of cortisol along with a decrease in the severity of pathopsychological symptoms, which indicates the genesis of hypercortisolism secondary to mental illness and its functional nature. It is assumed that hypercortisolism in this patient contributed to the formation of atypical clinical symptoms and resistance to antidepressant therapy. The discussion substantiates the need to consult a psychiatrist in case of persistent hypercortisolism in the absence of clinical manifestations of Cushing's syndrome. The detection of persistent hypercortisolism in patients with depression determines the advisability of active therapy using several tactics to enhance the effect of antidepressants.

Epigenetic Mechanisms Modulated by Glucocorticoids With a Focus on Cushing Syndrome.

In Cushing syndrome (CS), prolonged exposure to high cortisol levels results in a wide range of devastating effects causing multisystem morbidity. Despite the efficacy of treatment leading to disease remission and clinical improvement, hypercortisolism-induced complications may persist. Since glucocorticoids use the epigenetic machinery as a mechanism of action to modulate gene expression, the persistence of some comorbidities may be mediated by hypercortisolism-induced long-lasting epigenetic changes. Additionally, glucocorticoids influence microRNA expression, which is an important epigenetic regulator as it modulates gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. Evidence suggests that chronically elevated glucocorticoid levels may induce aberrant microRNA expression which may impact several cellular processes resulting in cardiometabolic disorders. The present article reviews the evidence on epigenetic changes induced by (long-term) glucocorticoid exposure. Key aspects of some glucocorticoid-target genes and their implications in the context of CS are described. Lastly, the effects of epigenetic drugs influencing glucocorticoid effects are discussed for their ability to be potentially used as adjunctive therapy in CS.

Safe long-term therapy of Cushing's syndrome over 37 years with mitotane.

While suggested, surgery is not always possible as a first-line treatment of Cushing's Disease (CD). In such cases, patients require medical therapy in order to prevent complications resulting from hypercortisolism. Although there has been a wide expansion in pharmacological options in recent years, mitotane was the agent of choice for treating hypercortisolism decades ago. Due to the introduction of other therapies, long-term experience with mitotane remains limited. Here, we report the case of a woman with CD who was treated with mitotane for 37 years. During the treatment period, biochemical and clinical disease control was achieved and the patient had two uncomplicated pregnancies. Drug-related side effects remained moderate and could be controlled by several dose adjustments. Our case highlights the ability of mitotane to allow an effective control of hypercortisolism and to represent a safe treatment option in special situations where CD requires an alternative therapeutic approach. Furthermore, we provide a literature review of the long-term use of mitotane and reported cases of pregnancy in the context of mitotane therapy.

Cushing syndrome and tertiary adrenal insufficiency from prolonged concomitant use of budesonide and posaconazole.

Budesonide is a 'non-absorbable' corticosteroid often used for gut graft versus host disease. Systemic exposure is usually minimal because of metabolism by cytochrome (CYP) 3A4 in enterocytes and the liver. However, concomitant use of posaconazole and voriconazole, inhibitors of CYP3A4 commonly used as antifungal prophylaxis in allograft patients receiving immunosuppression, can lead to substantial systemic steroid exposure. This paper describes a case of severe iatrogenic Cushing syndrome and tertiary adrenal insufficiency because of this interaction, highlighting the necessity for improved awareness of this phenomenon.

Effect of mitotane in patients with ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone syndrome caused by advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors: a case series and review of the literature.

Ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone syndrome (EAS) is a rare condition caused by pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (p-NETs). The severe hypercortisolemia that characterizes EAS is associated with a poor prognosis and survival. Mitotane is the only adrenolytic drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration and is often used to treat adrenocortical carcinoma. Combination therapy with mitotane and other adrenal steroidogenesis inhibitors is common for patients with Cushing's syndrome (CS). Here, we describe three patients who developed EAS secondary to the liver metastasis of p-NETs. All three rapidly developed hypercortisolemia but no typical features of CS. They underwent anti-tumor and mitotane therapy, which rapidly reduced their blood cortisol concentrations and ameliorated their symptoms. Their hypercortisolemia was controlled long term using a low dose of mitotane. The principal adverse effects were a slight loss of appetite and occasional dizziness, and there were no severe adverse effects. Importantly, even when the tumor progressed, the patients' circulating cortisol concentrations remained within the normal range. In summary, the present case series suggests that mitotane could be used to treat hypercortisolemia in patients with EAS caused by advanced p-NETs, in the absence of significant adverse effects.

Adrenocortical hemorrhage following intravenous tetracosactide in a dog with hypercortisolism.

OBJECTIVE: To summarize findings from a case of adrenocortical hemorrhage following tetracosactide injection during ACTH stimulation testing for monitoring of trilostane therapy in a dog. ANIMAL: A 12-year old neutered male dog with adrenal-dependent hypercortisolism. CLINICAL PRESENTATION, PROGRESSION, AND PROCEDURES: 4 hours after ACTH stimulation testing, the patient developed vomiting, lethargy, and abdominal pain. Abdominal ultrasound was performed before and after an ACTH stimulation test. Following ACTH stimulation testing, there was progressive bilateral adrenal enlargement and free abdominal fluid had developed. This was considered to be caused by adrenocortical inflammation and hemorrhage secondary to the synthetic ACTH analog, tetracosactide, used during stimulation testing. A resting cortisol performed 5 hours after tetracosactide injection was not consistent with iatrogenic hypoadrenocorticism. TREATMENT AND OUTCOME: The patient was managed with analgesia, IV fluids, and corticosteroids and made a full recovery. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: To the authors' knowledge, this was the first reported case of adrenocortical hemorrhage following administration of a synthetic ACTH analog in a dog. This should be considered as a rare potential complication of ACTH stimulation testing.

Relacorilant, a Selective Glucocorticoid Receptor Modulator in Development for the Treatment of Patients With Cushing Syndrome, Does Not Cause Prolongation of the Cardiac QT Interval.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of relacorilant, a selective glucocorticoid receptor modulator under investigation for the treatment of patients with endogenous hypercortisolism (Cushing syndrome [CS]), on the heart rate-corrected QT interval (QTc). METHODS: Three clinical studies of relacorilant were included: (1) a first-in-human, randomized, placebo-controlled, ascending-dose (up to 500 mg of relacorilant) study in healthy volunteers; (2) a phase 1 placebo- and positive-controlled thorough QTc (TQT) study of 400 and 800 mg of relacorilant in healthy volunteers; and (3) a phase 2, open-label study of up to 400 mg of relacorilant administered daily for up to 16 weeks in patients with CS. Electrocardiogram recordings were taken, and QTc change from baseline (ΔQTc) was calculated. The association of plasma relacorilant concentration with the effect on QTc in healthy volunteers was assessed using linear mixed-effects modeling. RESULTS: Across all studies, no notable changes in the electrocardiogram parameters were observed. At all time points and with all doses of relacorilant, including supratherapeutic doses, ΔQTc was small, generally negative, and, in the placebo-controlled studies, similar to placebo. In the TQT study, placebo-corrected ΔQTc with relacorilant was small and negative, whereas placebo-corrected ΔQTc with moxifloxacin positive control showed rapid QTc prolongation. These results constituted a negative TQT study. The model-estimated slopes of the concentration-QTc relationship were slightly negative, excluding an association of relacorilant with prolonged QTc. CONCLUSION: At all doses studied, relacorilant consistently demonstrated a lack of QTc prolongation in healthy volunteers and patients with CS, including in the TQT study. Ongoing phase 3 studies will help further establish the overall benefit-risk profile of relacorilant.

Prolonged adrenal insufficiency following discontinuation of osilodrostat treatment for intense hypercortisolism.

The cases of 3 patients with Cushing's disease who developed long-term adrenal insufficiency after discontinuation of prolonged osilodrostat therapy were recently described for the first time. We report 2 additional cases of persistent prolonged adrenal insufficiency after discontinuation of osilodrostat treatment for intense hypercortisolism due to Cushing's disease and ectopic ACTH syndrome. In addition, we show for that adrenal insufficiency in these patients was associated with low/normal 11-deoxycortisol concentrations despite high plasma ACTH concentrations. These results suggest that CYP11B1 is not the only target of osilodrostat and that, in vivo, osilodrostat has other prolonged and strong inhibitory effect on adrenal steroidogenesis upstream of CYP11B1. Knowledge of this remnant effect is important for the care of patients with Cushing's syndrome treated with osilodrostat. Further studies are needed to clarify the frequency and the mechanisms of this remnant effect.

Major immunophenotypic abnormalities in patients with primary adrenal insufficiency of different etiology.

Introduction: Patients with primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI) suffer from increased risk of infection, adrenal crises and have a higher mortality rate. Such dismal outcomes have been inferred to immune cell dysregulation because of unphysiological cortisol replacement. As the immune landscape of patients with different types of PAI has not been systematically explored, we set out to immunophenotype PAI patients with different causes of glucocorticoid (GC) deficiency. Methods: This cross-sectional single center study includes 28 patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), 27 after bilateral adrenalectomy due to Cushing's syndrome (BADx), 21 with Addison's disease (AD) and 52 healthy controls. All patients with PAI were on a stable GC replacement regimen with a median dose of 25 mg hydrocortisone per day. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated from heparinized blood samples. Immune cell subsets were analyzed using multicolor flow cytometry after four-hour stimulation with phorbol myristate acetate and ionomycin. Natural killer (NK-) cell cytotoxicity and clock gene expression were investigated. Results: The percentage of T helper cell subsets was downregulated in AD patients (Th1 p = 0.0024, Th2 p = 0.0157, Th17 p < 0.0001) compared to controls. Cytotoxic T cell subsets were reduced in AD (Tc1 p = 0.0075, Tc2 p = 0.0154) and CAH patients (Tc1 p = 0.0055, Tc2 p = 0.0012) compared to controls. NKCC was reduced in all subsets of PAI patients, with smallest changes in CAH. Degranulation marker CD107a expression was upregulated in BADx and AD, not in CAH patients compared to controls (BADx p < 0.0001; AD p = 0.0002). In contrast to NK cell activating receptors, NK cell inhibiting receptor CD94 was upregulated in BADx and AD, but not in CAH patients (p < 0.0001). Although modulation in clock gene expression could be confirmed in our patient subgroups, major interindividual-intergroup dissimilarities were not detected. Discussion: In patients with different etiologies of PAI, distinct differences in T and NK cell-phenotypes became apparent despite the use of same GC preparation and dose. Our results highlight unsuspected differences in immune cell composition and function in PAI patients of different causes and suggest disease-specific alterations that might necessitate disease-specific treatment.

PPARG dysregulation as a potential molecular target in adrenal Cushing's syndrome.

Background: We performed a transcriptomic analysis of adrenal signaling pathways in various forms of endogenous Cushing's syndrome (CS) to define areas of dysregulated and druggable targets. Methodology: Next-generation sequencing was performed on adrenal samples of patients with primary bilateral macronodular adrenal hyperplasia (PBMAH, n=10) and control adrenal samples (n=8). The validation groups included cortisol-producing adenoma (CPA, n=9) and samples from patients undergoing bilateral adrenalectomy for Cushing's disease (BADX-CD, n=8). In vivo findings were further characterized using three adrenocortical cell-lines (NCI-H295R, CU-ACC2, MUC1). Results: Pathway mapping based on significant expression patterns identified PPARG (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma) pathway as the top hit. Quantitative PCR (QPCR) confirmed that PPARG (l2fc<-1.5) and related genes - FABP4 (l2fc<-5.5), PLIN1 (l2fc<-4.1) and ADIPOQ (l2fc<-3.3) - were significantly downregulated (p<0.005) in PBMAH. Significant downregulation of PPARG was also found in BADX-CD (l2fc<-1.9, p<0.0001) and CPA (l2fc<-1.4, p<0.0001). In vitro studies demonstrated that the PPARG activator rosiglitazone resulted in decreased cell viability in MUC1 and NCI-H295R (p<0.0001). There was also a significant reduction in the production of aldosterone, cortisol, and cortisone in NCI-H295R and in Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in MUC1 (p<0.05), respectively. Outcome: This therapeutic effect was independent of the actions of ACTH, postulating a promising application of PPARG activation in endogenous hypercortisolism.

Pharmacological Treatment of Cushing's Syndrome.

The 1st line treatment of Cushing's syndrome is surgery, whatever the aetiology. The role of pharmacological treatment is clear in cases where surgery fails or is impossible, in cases of metastases, or while awaiting the delayed effects of radiotherapy. However, certain situations remain controversial, in particular the possible role of pharmacological treatment as a preparation for surgery. This situation must be divided into 2 parts, severe hypercortisolism with immediate vital risk and non-severe hypercortisolism with diagnostic delay. The initiation and adjustment of treatment doses is also controversial, with the possibility of titration by gradual dose increase based on biological markers, or a more radical "block and replace" approach in which the ultimate goal is to achieve hypocortisolism, which can then be supplemented. Each of these approaches has its advantages and drawbacks and should probably be reserved for different patient profiles depending on the severity of hypercortisolism. In this review, we will focus specifically on these 2 points, namely the potential role of preoperative pharmacological treatment and, more generally, the optimal way to initiate and monitor drug treatment to ensure that eucortisolism or hypocortisolism is achieved. We will define for each part which profiles of patients should be the most adapted to try to give advice on the optimal management of patients with hypercortisolism.

Iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome in a case of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis treated with oral itraconazole and inhaled budesonide.

Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is a hypersensitivity reaction to Aspergillus fumigatus that occurs in patients with asthma or cystic fibrosis. Here, we report a case of a young female with bronchial asthma who presented to our hospital with worsening breathlessness on exertion. She was diagnosed to have ABPA and was initiated on oral itraconazole while continuing inhaled long acting beta-2 adrenergic agonist and medium dose inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) for her asthma. Three months after initiation of therapy, the patient had significant improvement in breathlessness. However, she had weight gain, facial puffiness, increased facial hair and development of striae on her inner thighs, calf and lower abdomen. Her serum cortisol levels were found to be suppressed and hence a diagnosis of iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome was made. Our case describes the potentially serious interaction between ICS and oral itraconazole, a treatment very commonly prescribed in patients with ABPA.

[Cushing's syndrome with inhaled corticosteroid: Drug interactions to avoid]. / Syndrome de Cushing sous fluticasone inhalée : interactions médicamenteuses à éviter.

Cushing's syndrome is an iatrogenic event occurring during co-administration of inhaled corticosteroids and potent inhibitors of P450 cytochromes. We report the clinical case of a 29-year-old woman with a past history of asthma treated with inhaled fluticasone propionate (FP), chronic pulmonary aspergillosis and allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) treated with itraconazole (ITZ), and Mycobacterium xenopi infection treated with moxifloxacin (MXF), ethambutol (EMB) and clarithromycin (CLR). Four months after initiation of antibiotic and antifungal medication, the patient contracted Cushing's syndrome. Its etiology consisted in interaction between FP, ITZ and CLR, which led to pronouncedly increased corticosteroid concentrations in circulating plasma cells. Following on the one hand cessation of FP and ITZ and on the other hand hydrocortisone supplementation, evolution was favorable. Several cases of iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome induced by co-administration of FP and potent CYP3A4 inhibitors have been reported in the literature. If possible, FP should be avoided in patients being treated with CYP3A4 inhibitors. Due to its differing physicochemical properties, beclometasone may be considered as the safest therapeutic alternative.

Case Report: Severe McCune-Albright syndrome presenting with neonatal Cushing syndrome: navigating through clinical obstacles.

Background: Café-au-lait skin macules, Cushing syndrome (CS), hyperthyroidism, and liver and cardiac dysfunction are presenting features of neonatal McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS), CS being the rarest endocrine feature. Although spontaneous resolution of hypercortisolism has been reported, outcome is usually unfavorable. While a unified approach to diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up is lacking, herein successful treatment and long-term follow-up of a rare case is presented. Clinical case: An 11-day-old girl born small for gestational age presented with deterioration of well-being and weight loss. Large hyperpigmented macules on the trunk, hypertension, hyponatremia, hyperglycemia, and elevated liver enzymes were noted. ACTH-independent CS due to MAS was diagnosed. Although metyrapone (300 mg/m2/day) was started on the 25th day, complete remission could not be achieved despite increasing the dose up to 1,850 mg/m2/day. At 9 months, right total and left three-quarters adrenalectomy was performed. Cortisol decreased substantially, ACTH remained suppressed, rapid tapering of hydrocortisone to physiological dose was not tolerated, and supraphysiological doses were required for 2 months. GNAS analysis from the adrenal tissue showed a pathogenic heterozygous mutation. During 34 months of follow-up, in addition to CS due to MAS, fibrous dysplasia, hypophosphatemic rickets, and peripheral precocious puberty were detected. She is still regularly screened for other endocrinopathies. Conclusion: Neonatal CS due to MAS is extremely rare. Although there is no specific guideline for diagnosis, treatment, or follow-up, addressing side effects and identifying treatment outcomes will improve quality of life and survival.
