Cushing’s syndrome associated with typical, peripheral pulmonary carcinoid tumor and N2 lymph node metastasis: case report
Background: The bronchopulmonary carcinoid tumor accounts for 1-2% of all adult malignancies of the lung and 20-30% of all carcinoid tumors. Cushing’s syndrome is the result of chronic exposure to increased concentration of exogenous or endo-genus cortisol hormone, and it is generally associated with central obesity, metabolic syndrome, and hypertension. Treatment is based on decreasing cortiso...
متن کاملPulmonary arterial sampling was useful for localizing ectopic ACTH production in a patient with bronchial carcinoid causing Cushing syndrome.
OBJECTIVE We report a 44-year old man with ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) syndrome caused by bronchial carcinoid that developed Cushing syndrome. METHODS We performed several imaging studies, including chest and abdominal CT, for exploration of nodules and selective pulmonary arterial sampling for localizing a source of ectopic ACTH production. RESULTS The patient was diagnosed ...
متن کاملA Case of Pulmonary Carcinoid Tumor with a Superimposed Aspergilloma Presenting As a Covert Ectopic Adrenocorticotropic Hormone Syndrome
Ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) syndrome is a challenging diagnosis only responsible for approximately 10% of Cushing syndrome cases. It has been associated with a variety of benign and malignant tumors including a carcinoid tumor accompanied by aspergilloma in our case that was significantly difficult to be detected. We report a patient over 70 years old with uncontrolled hypertensi...
متن کاملEctopic Cushing's syndrome and pulmonary carcinoid tumour identified by [111In-DTPA-D-Phe1]octreotide.
The differential diagnosis and management of Cushing's syndrome remain difficult, particularly for ectopic adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) syndromes resulting from small bronchial carcinoids. We report the case of a 41-year-old man with ectopic ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome. Two computed tomography scans of the thorax were normal and magnetic resonance imaging of the chest showed a 6-mm hyperint...
