Abstract
Cushing's syndrome is an uncommon clinical condition most frequently presenting with central obesity, facial rounding, proximal muscle weakness, and skin thinning. The objective of this case report is to highlight an unusual presentation of Cushing's syndrome. A 35-year-old woman presented to the orthopedic clinic with a 1-year history of foot pain without any history of trauma. Radiography of the foot showed multiple metatarsal fractures. Evaluation for secondary causes of reduced bone strength revealed that the patient had Cushing's disease, although other typical signs and symptoms were not remarkable. It can be concluded that Cushing's syndrome should always be included in the differential diagnosis of foot fracture without any evidence of trauma.
