Historical Perspective
Cushing's syndrome was first discovered by Dr. Harvey Cushing (an American physician, surgeon, and endocrinologist) in 1932. More than a century ago, Harvey Cushing introduced the term “pluriglandular syndrome” to describe a disorder characterized by rapid development of central obesity, arterial hypertension, proximal muscle weakness, diabetes mellitus, oligomenorrhea, hirsutism, thin skin, and ecchymoses. This was later identified as Cushing's syndrome. [1][2]
