The aim of our study is to research gonadal and sexual abnormalities in 17 male subjects with endogenous cortisol excess: 10 Cushing’s diseases, 5 paraneoplastic Cushing syndrome, 1 malignant corticosurrenaloma, 1 micronodular dysplasia. Their mean age is 30.2 years (18 – 50). Our work is based on anamnestic, clinical and hormonal results. Our population is co...
