Pulmonary adenocarcinoma presenting with symptoms of ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone production
General physical examination revealed clubbing and hyperpigmentation of both hands and feet. There was Grade 5 power in all the limbs. Laboratory investigations revealed hypokalemia (1.3 meq/L), metabolic alkalosis (pH = 7.52, serum bicarbonate = 39.8 mmol/L), hyperglycemia (fasting blood glucose = 308 mg%), elevated serum cortisol levels (75 mg/dl, normal reference range 7–23 mg/dl), and high ...
متن کاملRB and Prognosis in Resected Lung Adenocarcinoma.
The treatment of resected lung adenocarcinoma has ample room for improvement. Can genomic characterization aid us in deciding how and when to apply adjuvant therapy in the smallest resected tumors?
متن کاملThymic neuroendocrine carcinoma producing ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone and Cushing's syndrome.
Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the thymus, previously termed thymic carcinoid, is a rare clinical entity. Rarer still are such cases presenting with endocrinopathies. We report a case of thymic neuroendocrine carcinoma presenting with ectopic adrenocorticotroic hormone production and resultant Cushing's syndrome.
متن کاملA Case of Ectopic Adrenocorticotropic Hormone Syndrome in Small Cell Lung Cancer
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC), which originated from neuroendocrine tissue, can develop into paraneoplastic endocrine syndromes, such as Cushing syndrome, because of an inappropriate secretion of ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). This paraneoplastic syndrome is known to be a poor prognostic factor in SCLC. The reason for poor survival may be because of a higher risk of infection assoc...
متن کاملA resected case of solitary pancreatic metastasis from adenocarcinoma of the lung.
CONTEXT Primary lung cancer frequently metastasizes to distant organs; however, the pancreas is a relatively infrequent site of metastasis. Because most metastatic cases in the pancreas tend to be discovered in patients only after malignant disease has become widely disseminated, it is extremely rare that a metachronous metastatic lesion limited to the pancreas is discovered with postoperative ...
