There are few observations in the literature that indicate an increased frequency of thyroid nodular pathology (thyroid gland) with total hypercorticism syndrome [3,6, 8-13, 15-17]. According to some reports, palpable formations and nodular changes in ultrasound of this organ are found in patients with Itsenko-Cushing's disease 2.5-3 times more often than in the population (10% versus 4% [14] and 60% versus 20% [7 ] respectively). Moreover, in clinically similar cases of the combination "thyroid gland + hypercorticism", the morphological nature of the pathology of the thyroid and pituitary-adrenal system is characterized by pronounced polymorphism.
