From skin to within: Navigating concurrent endocrine and dermatological disease

19 Nov 2026
IDEXX Advanced Diagnostics Theatre
Diagnostic Imaging , Dermatology , Endocrinology

Endocrine disorders such as hypothyroidism and Cushing’s syndrome commonly present with dermatological signs, often mimicking or coexisting with primary skin disease. This session provides a practical approach to recognising when “skin disease” may reflect underlying endocrine dysfunction, and how to investigate and manage these patients effectively.

  • Recognise key dermatological signs associated with hypothyroidism and hyperadrenocorticism
  • Differentiate primary dermatological disease from endocrine-driven skin changes
  • Select appropriate diagnostic tests and interpret results in the context of concurrent disease
  • Develop a structured approach to managing patients with coexisting endocrine and skin conditions
  • Avoid common diagnostic and therapeutic pitfalls in these cases
