Abstract
The reported clinical case represents an example of characteristic traits in lipid metabolism and fat tissue deposition in hypercorticosolism. Probable causes for fat mass expansion in glucocorticosteroid excess, its distinctive cushingoid distribution, role of 11β-HSD1 and glucocorticoid receptors and reversibility of specific abnormalities after correction of hypercortisolism are discussed in the context of physiological and pathological aspects of glucocorticosteroid action.
