Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Truncal obesity (fat accumulation in the torso area) and thin skin are both characteristic physical features of individuals with Cushing syndrome. Weight gain, not weight loss, is also a common feature. Pallor, swollen tongue, depigmented skin, and eyelid lag are not typically seen in individuals with Cushing syndrome.
