Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The clinical manifestations of acne, easy bruising, thin extremities, and truncal obesity are indicative of Cushing's disease, which is caused by excess cortisol secretion from the adrenal gland. Hyperthyroidism would cause weight loss and not truncal obesity, while hypoaldosteronism and diabetes insipidus have different clinical manifestations.
