Use of somatostatin analog for localization and treatment of ACTH secreting bronchial carcinoid tumor.
A 29-year-old woman presenting with an ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone syndrome and a nodule of the upper lobe of the left lung was explored by indium 111 (111In) octreotide scintigraphy. This showed a pathologic uptake by the nodule. Treatment with octreotide resulted in the rapid control of hypercortisolism prior to surgery.
متن کاملIntraoperative detection of a bronchial carcinoid with a radiolabeled somatostatin analog.
Carcinoid tumors of the lung are rare neuroendocrine tumors that make up approximately 1 to 2% of all lung neoplasms. These tumors overexpress somatostatin receptors, and somatostatin analog therapy has become standard in the treatment of carcinoid tumors. In addition, radiolabeled somatostatin analogs have been used to diagnose and treat these lesions. We describe the case of a patient with a ...
متن کاملDiagnosis of an ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone-secreting bronchial carcinoid by somatostatin receptor scintigraphy
Ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) syndrome accounts for 10%–20% of the cases of ACTH-dependent Cushing’s syndrome (1). Ectopic ACTH secretion typically results from an occult, slow-growing bronchial carcinoid tumor. The diagnosis of these relatively small tumors can be difficult with conventional imaging procedures, such as computerized tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MR...

In a case of atypical mucin-producing bronchial carcinoid in a 40-year-old man covert metastases were present at the time of lobectomy and were revealed at necropsy--a feature highlighting the malignant potential of the atypical carcinoid.
متن کاملFulminant Cushing's syndrome due to an ACTH-producing thymic carcinoid.
Case Description A 32-year-old man was hospitalized because of severe fatigue and blurred vision. Evaluation revealed glaucoma, hypertension, new-onset diabetes mellitus and severe hypokalemia with metabolic alkalosis. A month later he was admitted to the urology department because of a perianal and scrotal abscess, which was surgically drained. Following surgery, he developed shortness of brea...
