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.

Cushingâs disease is a specific type of Cushingâs syndrome caused by a pituitary tumor leading to excessive production of ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone). Excessive ACTH stimulates the adrenal cortex to produce high levels of cortisol, producing the disease state. Cushing's disease due to excess ACTH may also result in hyperpigmentation. This is due to Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone production as a byproduct of ACTH synthesis from Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC).
