A rare case of an ACTH/CRH co-secreting midgut neuroendocrine tumor mimicking Cushing’s disease
Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism Case Reports, 2017 Ectopic ACTH/CRH co-secreting tumors are a very rare cause of Cushing’s syndrome and only a few cases have been reported in the literature. Differentiating between Cushing’s disease and ectopic Cushing’s syndrome may be particularly difficult if ...
