متن کاملPancoast tumour presenting as paraplegia with Horner's syndrome.
A 60 year old male farmer presented with acute paraplegia, loss of sensations below the nipples and bowel-bladder incontinence since two days. On examination, Horner’s syndrome with ptosis, miosis and anhidrosis was noted on the left half of the face (Fig. 1).

متن کاملEctopic ACTH syndrome associated with large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the thymus.
A 38-year-old man was admitted for evaluation of Cushing's syndrome. Physical findings showed swelling of the face, and hypertension, but not Cushingoid stigmata. Laboratory data revealed serum cortisol level of 34.1 µg/dL and plasma ACTH of 140 pg/mL. Overnight administration of 1 and 8 mg dexamethasone did not suppress plasma ACTH or serum cortisol. Chest X-ray showed a mass at the upper-ante...
متن کاملEctopic ACTH syndrome in a dog with a mesenteric neuroendocrine tumour: a case report
Ectopic ACTH secretion is provoked by extra-pituitary tumours that secrete ACTH, constituting an infrequent type of Cushing Syndrome in the dog. Neuroendocrine tumours (NET) are characterised by the synthesis of peptides with hormone activity. A dog with clinical diagnosis of Cushing’s syndrome and presenting an abdominal tumour located in the area of the left adrenal gland was sent to the hosp...
متن کاملEctopic ACTH syndrome caused by desmopressin-responsive thymic neuroendocrine tumor.
A 32-year-old Chinese woman with rapid weight gain and progressive edema was found to have typical Cushingoid features. Her endocrine data were consistent with a diagnosis of ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome. To differentiate ectopic ACTH syndrome (EAS) from Cushing's disease (CD), various dynamic endocrine and imaging tests were performed. Her ACTH response was negative to corticotropin-relea...
