Hypersecretion of ACTH and PRL from pituitary adenoma in MEN1, adequately managed by medical therapy [PDF]
Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism Case Reports, 2017 A 54-year-old man had gastrinoma, parathyroid hyperplasia and pituitary tumor. His family history indicated that he might have multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1). MEN1 gene analysis revealed a heterozygous germline mutation (Gly156Arg). Therefore,

Pancreatic ACTH Hypersecretion and Pituitary Macroadenoma
JCEM Case Reports, 2022 Abstract A 55-year-old woman admitted for hypertensive emergency and myocardial infarction reported weight gain, muscle weakness, easy bruising, and recent-onset diabetes in the past 3 to 12 months. Urinary and salivary cortisol and adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH) levels were elevated. Pituitary imaging detected a macroadenoma.

A human ACTH-secreting corticotroph tumoroid model
EBioMedicine, 2021 Background: Cushing disease (CD), although rare, is a life-threatening disorder caused by an adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-secreting pituitary adenoma, which leads to excess adrenal-derived cortisol.

An extremely rare case of calcinosis cutis in human Cushing’s disease
Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism Case Reports, 2022 Cushing’s disease or pituitary adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-dependent Cushing’s syndrome is considered a rare condition. It is caused by hypersecretion of the ACTH by a pituitary adenoma that ultimately induces endogenous hypercortisolism by ...

Long-term follow-up on Cushing disease patient after transsphenoidal surgery [PDF]
Annals of Pediatric Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2014 Cushing disease is caused by excessive adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) production by the pituitary adenoma. Transsphenoidal surgery is its first-line treatment.

A rare case of ectopic ACTH syndrome originating from malignant renal paraganglioma
Archives of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2017 SUMMARY Ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) syndrome is characterized by hypercortisolism due to the hypersecretion of a non-pituitary ACTH-secreting tumor leading to Cushing’s syndrome.

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.
