PITUITARY DEPENDENT CUSHING\'S SYNDROME IN IRAN
During a 5-year experience with 32 adrenal tumors with different basic problems in the Department of Endocrinology , Taleghani Hospital, 25 were found pituitary dependent Cushing's syndrome, "Cushing's disease." The treatment of patients with Cushing's disease depends on the presence or absence of pituitary tumor. Ifno pituitary tumor is demonstrated, irradiation can be given to the pituit...
متن کاملA rare case of Cushing syndrome by cyclic ectopic-ACTH.
ACTH-dependent Cushing syndrome (CS) due to ectopic ACTH production is most times difficult to manage. The identification of the source of ACTH may take many years. Surgery or chemotherapy for the primary tumor is not always possible. Control of Cushing symptoms is many times achieved using medication, or bilateral adrenalectomy in refractory cases. This case presents a Brazilian male who showe...
متن کاملAdrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-producing pheochromocytoma presented as Cushing syndrome and complicated by invasive aspergillosis
Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-producing pheochromocytoma has been rarely reported, whereas only a few cases of Cushing syndrome accompanied by opportunistic infections have been reported. We experienced a patient with pheochromocytoma with ectopic Cushing syndrome complicated by invasive aspergillosis. A 35-year-old woman presented with typical Cushingoid features.

متن کاملCushing ' S Syndrome
In 1932 Harvey Cushing described a number of patients presenting a similar clinical picture which he had collected from the literature, and he added two more from his own records. The presence of minute adenomata of basophil cells in the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland was demonstrated at autopsy on some of them and Cushing regarded these as the causative lesions and called the syndrome 'p...
متن کاملPro-opiomelanocortin mRNA size heterogeneity in ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome.
As an approach to understanding the abnormalities of pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) gene regulation in human ACTH-secreting tumours, we have analysed the POMC mRNA content of nine such tumours using the Northern blot technique. Most of the tumours and normal human pituitary contained easily detectable quantities of POMC mRNA. The length of this message in most tumours was similar to, or slightly l...
