Cushing's syndrome is primarily caused by an excess of cortisol in the body, which can result from various factors. The most common cause is a pituitary adenoma that leads to increased production of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), stimulating the adrenal glands to produce more cortisol. It can also be caused by adrenal tumors or ectopic ACTH production from tumors elsewhere in the body. Additionally, long-term use of corticosteroid medications can induce Cushing's syndrome.
