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.

Pituitary Cushing's is a condition in which the pituitary gland (an organ of the endocrine system) secretes excess adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). Cushing's disease is a form of Cushing's syndrome, in which excess cortisol (a stress hormone) is secreted. In the case of Cushing's disease, the problem is caused by a tumor or hyperplasia (excess growth) of the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland is located in the base of the skull and regulates the activities of many glands and body processes. When ACTH is secreted by the pituitary gland, the adrenal glands release cortisol. In Cushing's disease, there is too much ACTH, which leads to an excess release of cortisol.
