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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Goitre and Iodine Deficiency in Europe [PDF]

, 1985
The prevalence of endemic iodine-deficiency goitre in Europe has been reduced in many areas by the introduction of iodination programmes. Recent reports, however, show that goitre remains a significant problem and that its prevalence has not decreased in

Gel chromatographic characterization of immunoreactive adrenocorticotropin in patients with ACTH hypersecretion [PDF]

, 1989
We investigated the molecular size of circulating immunoreactive ACTH by gel chromatography in patients with ACTH hypersecretion due to various disorders of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis.
