Bronchopulmonary carcinoid tumors are observed rarely. Patients’ usual symptoms are coughing, hemoptysis and recurrent pneumonia, nevertheless in rare cases tese tumors may be diagnosed with clinic conditions related paraneoplastically secreted hormone effects. In this case report, we aimed to indicate a typical lung carcinoid tumor causing ectopic cushing syndrome,presented withdiabetes mellit...

Adrenal function test results in a girl with Cushing's syndrome and a bronchial carcinoid tumour suggested pituitary dependent hypercortisolism. Resolution after excision of the tumour indicated that her condition had been caused by ectopic adrenocorticotrophic hormone secretion. Conventional tests of adrenal function may be misleading in cases of adrenocorticotrophic hormone secreting bronchia...

Clinically suspected recurrence of gastric carcinoid proved to be hypocomplementaemic urticarial vasculitis syndrome with
