Abstract

Clinical, laboratory, radiological and therapeutic features of 27 patients with Cushing's syndrome admitted to Hacettepe University Hospitals during 1967 - 1979
were evaluated and a comparison was made with the series reported in the literature. There was no significant difference between the features of the patients in
our group and those in ihe foreign series except ihe fact that no ectopic ACTH syndrome WaâS documented in our patients.

Keywords
