Cushing's syndrome is caused by either excessive cortisol-like medication such as prednisone or a tumor that either produces, or results in the production of excessive cortisol by the adrenal glands.Cases due to a pituitary adenoma are known as Cushing's disease.It is the second most common cause of Cushing's syndrome after medication. A number of other tumors may also cause Cushing's.ases due to a pituitary adenoma are known as Cushing's disease. It is the second most common cause of Cushing's syndrome after medication.

Cushing's disease is the name given to a condition caused by a pituitary tumor that secretes excessive amounts of adrenocorticotropic hormone (known as ACTH). This hormone stimulates the adrenal glands to produce excessive amounts of cortisol. Other tumors or conditions also may lead to excess secretion of cortisol, such as tumors of the adrenal gland and lung. This is called Cushing's syndrome. If left untreated, Cushing's syndrome (as well as Cushing's disease) can seriously affect the quality and length of life.
