The normal chest radiograph in bronchial carcinoma.

Atypical Cushing's syndrome associated with bronchial carcinoid.

Preliminary Communications MEDICBJOURNAL 291 Phree radioactive compounds could be detected in chromato-grams of the urine after administration of 35S methimazole, of which two were probably 35S methimazole and VISO4. The third compound could be detected at the origin after the urinary sulphate had been removed by precipitation with barium chloride. After administration of propylthiouracil chror...

Cushing's syndrome and bronchial carcinoid tumour.

Adrenal function test results in a girl with Cushing's syndrome and a bronchial carcinoid tumour suggested pituitary dependent hypercortisolism. Resolution after excision of the tumour indicated that her condition had been caused by ectopic adrenocorticotrophic hormone secretion. Conventional tests of adrenal function may be misleading in cases of adrenocorticotrophic hormone secreting bronchia...

Angioedema as a single manifestation of carcinoid syndrome in a bronchial carcinoid tumor.
