Ectopic Adrenocorticotropic Hormone

Ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone ( ACTH) syndrome is rare and identification of its source is often challenging. We report the case of an ectopic Cushing syndrome in a young adult male secondary to an occult ACTH producing atypical carcinoid tumor. Extensive biochemical and imaging workup was unrevealing. The diagnosis was aided by Ga-DOTA PET scan demonstrating a suspicious left upper lobe lung nodule. The patient underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic exploration with wedge resection and mediastinal lymphadenectomy of a T2aN2M0 atypical carcinoid, resulting in the normalization of ACTH levels and complete resolution of symptoms. The role of a Ga-DOTA PET scan in diagnosing pulmonary carcinoid tumors and their management are discussed.

Ectopic Adrenocorticotropic Hormone

Cushing syndrome is a very rare clinical feature of typical pulmonary carcinoid, caused by hypercorticism, and despite advances in imaging techniques, it poses a difficult diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. We report the case of a patient presenting with Cushing syndrome associated with ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone secretion from a bronchial carcinoid, whose management presented diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

Ectopic increase of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) or ectopic Cushing syndrome is a rare initial presentation of small cell carcinoma and carcinoid tumor of the lung. Here, we reported a 36-year-old male with atypical symptoms of Cushing syndrome managed by Etomidate that had a central pulmonary nodule, and pathologic evaluation of pulmonary lobectomy revealed the diagnosis of well-differentiated, low-grade typical carcinoids of lung. © 2019Tehran University of Medical Sciences.
