Hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis as a clinical clue to ectopic ACTH syndrome: two cases of neuroendocrine carcinoma

Endocrine Regulations
Objective. Ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) syndrome (EAS) is a rare, but potentially life-threatening cause of Cushing’s syndrome. Its clinical recognition may be delayed, especially when classical features of hypercortisolism are absent.

Ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone syndrome associated with olfactory neuroblastoma: acquirement of adrenocorticotropic hormone expression during disease course as shown by serial immunohistochemistry examinations

Journal of International Medical Research, 2018
Ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) syndrome (EAS) is a condition of endogenous hypercortisolism sustained by an extrapituitary ACTH-secreting tumor.

Transient hypercortisolism and symptomatic hyperthyroidism associated to primary hyperparathyroidism in an elderly patient: case report and literature review. [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is often found on routine blood tests, at a relatively asymptomatic stage. However many studies suggest different systemic effects related to PHPT, which could be enhanced by an abnormal cortisol release due

Adrenocorticotropic Hormone-Dependent Cushing’s Syndrome : Use of an octreotide trial to distinguish between pituitary or ectopic sources

Sultan Qaboos University Medical Journal, 2015
Objectives: Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) overproduction is usually due to a pituitary tumour which is often not visible on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, ACTH overproduction may be due to an ectopic source. This study aimed to develop a

Functional Implications of LH/hCG Receptors in Pregnancy-Induced Cushing Syndrome [PDF]

, 2017
Context: Elevated human choriogonadotropin (hCG) may stimulate aberrantly expressed luteinizing hormone (LH)/hCG receptor (LHCGR) in adrenal glands, resulting in pregnancy-induced bilateral macronodular adrenal hyperplasia and transient Cushing syndrome (

Somatostatin and dopamine receptors as targets for medical treatment of Cushing's Syndrome [PDF]

, 2008
Somatostatin (SS) and dopamine (DA) receptors are widely expressed in neuroendocrine tumours that cause Cushing's Syndrome (CS). Increasing knowledge of specific subtype expression within these tumours and the ability to target these receptor subtypes ...

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

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 ...
