Ectopic ACTH Secretion in a Child With Metastatic Ewing's Sarcoma: A Case Report

Frontiers in Oncology, 2020
Ectopic ACTH syndrome is rare in pediatric age. Sarcomas that cause Ectopic ACTH Syndrome (EAS) are even more uncommon. Currently, only three cases of EAS caused by Ewing' sarcoma have been reported.

Ectopic ACTH Syndrome

Nihon rinsho. Japanese journal of clinical medicine, 2006
Ectopic adrenocorticotropin secretion (EAS) accounts for 10-15% of cases of Cushing's syndrome and comprises a spectrum of tumours from undetectable isolated lesions to widespread metastatic and aggressive malignancies. EAS is often associated with severe hypercortisolaemia causing hypokalaemia, diabetes, generalized infections, hypertension and ...

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).

Adrenocorticotropic Hormone-Producing Paraganglioma With Low Plasma ACTH Level: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2020
Ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) syndrome caused by paraganglioma is extremely rare. It usually accompanied by high or normal plasma ACTH level.

Prolactin-adjusted inferior petrosal sinus sampling: Pituitary and ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone-dependent Cushing syndrome. [PDF]

J Neuroendocrinol
Abstract Inferior petrosal sinus sampling (IPSS) is a diagnostic procedure used to differentiate between ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)‐dependent Cushing syndrome (EAS) and pituitary ACTH‐dependent Cushing syndrome (CD). This study investigated the diagnostic value of IPSS, focusing on the use of prolactin adjustments and different ...

FRI223 Ectopic ACTH Syndrome

Journal of the Endocrine Society, 2023
Abstract Disclosure: S. Mallesara Sudhakar: None. E.S. Story: None. Introduction: Ectopic ACTH Syndrome (EAS) is caused by hypercortisolism from extra-hypophysial tumors. EAS accounts for 10-15 % of Cushing’s Syndrome. Case 1: A 36 year old male with recently diagnosed stage IV well differentiated grade 2 neuroendocrine ...

Cushing Syndrome: Secondary to Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Lung [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2018
Cushing syndrome secondary to ectopic Adrenocorticotrophic (ACTH) hormone secretion is an uncommon entity mostly caused by small cell lung cancer or bronchial carcinoids. It can be characterised by absence of classical cushingoid features.

ACTH-producing small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma from the gallbladder: a case report and literature review

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023
Ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone syndrome (EAS) is a condition of hypercortisolism caused by non-pituitary tumors that secrete adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). A rare occurrence of this syndrome is due to an ACTH-producing neuroendocrine tumor that

A unique case of ectopic Cushing’s syndrome from a thymic neuroendocrine carcinoma

Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism Case Reports, 2019
Ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) production leading to ectopic ACTH syndrome accounts for a small proportion of all Cushing’s syndrome (CS) cases.

The ectopic ACTH syndrome

Reviews in Endocrine and Metabolic Disorders, 2010
Ectopic Cushing's syndrome usually relates to the ectopic ACTH syndrome (EAS) and represents ∼20% of ACTH-dependent and ∼10% of all types of Cushing's syndrome (CS). Nearly any neuroendocrine or non-endocrine tumours may be associated with EAS, but the more prevalent tumours are bronchial carcinoids, small cell lung carcinomas, pancreatic carcinoids ...
