چکیده
Disseminated aspergillosis is a known complication of neoplastic disease; however, it is usually associated with neoplasms of the hematopoietic or lymphoreticular systems or with immunosuppressed states. We describe the previously unreported association of disseminated aspergillosis and Cushing's syndrome secondary to a corticotropin-secreting oat cell carcinoma of the lung, and we review the current literature on disseminated aspergillosis complicating neoplastic disease.

متن کاملCushing's syndrome associated with carcinoma of pancreas.
IT IS NOW generally accepted that malignant tumour cells are capable of producing a variety of substances whose biological activities are identical with those of various endocrine hormones (Morrell, 1964; Ross, 1965; Anderson, 1966; Friedman, Marshall Jones & Ross, 1966; O'Riordan et al., 1966).
