The tibia and fibula are the most common locations. The epicenter is cortical. The appearance consists of diffuse, mature cortical thickening. Severe venous insufficiency or venous ectasia can result in tibial or fibular cortical thickening secondary to mature periosteal bone formation (Fig 27).Venous stasis is probably the most common cause of diffuse cortical thickening in the tibia.tress fracture occurs at all ages, and there is no sex predilection. The location is diaphyseal in the tibia, and the epicenter is eccentric. The appearance consists of smooth cortical thickening, sometimes associated with lucent foci.
Cortisol is made by the adrenal glands which are stimulated by ACTH, which is produced in pituitary gland. When the cause of the excess cortisol is excess ACTH made by a pituitary tumor, the condition is called Cushingâs disease.Rarely, excess ACTH can be produced by a tumor elsewhere in the body, which is referred to as ectopic production of ACTH.Another cause of Cushing's syndrome can be taking excess steroid medications. Finally, excess production of cortisol by an adrenal tumor can lead to Cushing's syndrome.arely, excess ACTH can be produced by a tumor elsewhere in the body, which is referred to as ectopic production of ACTH.
