Abstract
A 35-year-old woman with alcoholic liver disease presented with physical stigmas and laboratory confirmation of Cushing's syndrome. With discontinuance of alcohol, her signs of Cushing's syndrome resolved and the urinary free cortisol and the urinary 17-hydroxycorticosteroid response to dexamethasone returned to normal. These findings broaden the spectrum of deranged glucocorticoid chemistry that can occur in alcohol-induced cushingoid syndrome.Keywords
