Hypercortisolism is a severe endocrine disorder that leads to all types of metabolic disturbances. The most frequent symptom of hypercortisolism is a specific weight gain and body fat distribution - "cushingoid" obesity which clinically reflects the pathological changes in protein, carbohydrate and lipids metabolism. We provide a clinical case of a patient with Cushings disease. This clinical case represents challenges in the differential diagnosis of this rare endocrine disorder and metabolic syndrome, and specific approach in further evaluation and treatment of Cushing's disease that requires all the latest technology in this field to be employed.
