Case Report: ACTH- and CRH-secreting pheochromocytoma as a very rare cause of ectopic Cushing syndrome [PDF]

Frontiers in Endocrinology
Ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) syndrome (EAS) represents a rare clinical entity characterized by severe hypercortisolemia. Pheochromocytoma, a neuroendocrine neoplasm originating from chromaffin cells within the adrenal medulla, is itself an ...

ACTH overexpressing pituitary hyperplasia in a patient with ectopic ACTH-syndrome due to carcinoid of the lung

Ожирение и метаболизм, 2015
Ectopic ACTH-syndrome is the most diagnostically challenging  variant of endogenous hypercortisolism. Particularly difficult differential diagnosis of this syndrome is from Cushing's disease (CD), as currently there is no single test sufficiently ...

Case Report: Ectopic CRH production by adrenal adenoma as a unique cause of the ACTH-dependent Cushing’s syndrome [PDF]

Frontiers in Endocrinology
Isolated ectopic secretion of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) is an exceedingly rare cause of Cushing’s syndrome (CS), accounting for fewer than 1% of cases.

Utility of gel filtration chromatography in evaluating successful resection of ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone-producing tumor: a case report and literature review [PDF]

Endocrine Journal
Ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) syndrome resulting from ectopically secreting tumors poses a significant clinical challenge. Accurately identifying the tumor source and achieving curative resection are pivotal for patient prognosis; however ...

Ectopic ACTH syndrome [PDF]

Arquivos Brasileiros de Endocrinologia & Metabologia, 2007
Ectopic adrenocorticotropic secretion (EAS) is responsible for 12-17% of cases of Cushing's syndrome (CS) and covers a range of tumours, from undetectable benign lesions to widespread metastases. The syndrome is often associated with severe hypercortisolaemia, which aggravates the underlying condition.

Cushing’s syndrome caused by ACTH precursors secreted from a pancreatic yolk sac tumor in an adult—a case report and literature review

Frontiers in Medicine, 2023
Here, we report the first adult case of pancreatic yolk sac tumor with ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) syndrome. The patient was a 27-year-old woman presenting with abdominal distension, Cushingoid features, and hyperpigmentation.

Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma with Ectopic Adrenocorticotropic Hormone Syndrome [PDF]

Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2014
Ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) syndrome is caused most frequently by a bronchial carcinoid tumor or by small cell lung cancer. Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is a rare etiology of ectopic ACTH syndrome.

Case Report: An Unusual Case of Ectopic ACTH Syndrome Caused by Mediastinal Paraganglioma

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
Ectopic adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) syndrome is not common, which is more unusual when caused by paraganglioma. We herein present a 40-year-old Chinese male who was diagnosed with ACTH-dependent Cushing’s syndrome.
