Cushing's syndrome is caused by chronic exposure to excessive levels of glucocorticoids. It is characterized by significant phenotypic alterations including increased visceral adiposity and fat deposits on the cheeks, leading to a characteristic 'moon face' appearance. Although glucocorticoid therapy is widespread, its associated side effects are of significant clinical concern.

Background: Topical glucocorticoids are widely used in psoriasis treatment but may lead to systemic adverse effects, particularly with prolonged use. While pediatric cases are well-documented, adult-onset iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome from topical corticosteroids remains under-recognized.
Case Presentation: A 31-year-old woman with a 10-year history of psoriasis vulgaris self-administered high-potency clobetasol propionate ointment (monthly cumulative dose escalated from 30 g to 100 g over 22 months) under no physician supervision.

The diagnosis of adrenocortical tumors remains clinically challenging due to overlapping morphological and functional features between benign, malignant, and hormonally active lesions. Malignant and functional tumors are frequently associated with poor prognosis. Traditional morphological imaging methods, such as CT and MRI, cannot reliably distinguish lesion types.
