Case Report: Three Rare Cases of Ectopic ACTH Syndrome Caused by Adrenal Medullary Hyperplasia

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2021
Ectopic ACTH syndrome (EAS) accounts for 10–20% of endogenous Cushing’s syndrome (CS). Hardly any cases of adrenal medullary hyperplasia have been reported to ectopically secrete adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH).
