Pulmonary embolism as the presenting symptom and a confounder in ACTH-secreting bronchial carcinoid

Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism Case Reports, 2019
Ectopic ACTH-secreting pulmonary neuroendocrine tumors are rare and account for less than 5% of endogenous Cushing’s syndrome cases. We describe an unusual case of metastatic bronchial carcinoid tumor in a young woman presenting with unprovoked pulmonary

Ectopic ACTH syndrome – Experience with Etomidate*

Journal of the ASEAN Federation of Endocrine Societies, 2017
For ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) syndrome (EAS), when surgery is not feasible, or in cases of severe biochemical disturbances, immunosuppression or mental instability, medical therapy with agents such as etomidate is indicated. We present our experience in using etomidate for a 41-year old female with EAS secondary to a malignant ...
