10 Symptoms of Cushing’s Syndrome(Hypercortisolism)

Fatty Deposits

One of the most typical symptoms of Cushing’s syndrome is the development of many fatty deposits. They can show up between the shoulders and create a buffalo hump, in the face and create a moon face, or around the upper back and midsection. Normally, the fatty cells will evenly distribute in the body. But when Cushing’s syndrome occurs, it affects the spreading of these substances. More fat will be found around the legs, arms, and neck. This also contributes to the weight gain in people with this condition. [2]
