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 کاملMedullary Thyroid Carcinoma with Ectopic Adrenocorticotropic Hormone Syndrome
Ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) syndrome is caused most frequently by a bronchial carcinoid tumor or by small cell lung cancer. Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is a rare etiology of ectopic ACTH syndrome. We describe a case of Cushing syndrome due to ectopic ACTH production from MTC in a 48-year-old male. He was diagnosed with MTC 14 years ago and underwent total thyroidectomy, cer...
متن کاملMetastatic pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor with ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone production.
We describe a 71-year-old man who presented with abdominal pain, lower-extremity edema, recent unintentional weight loss, hypertension, hyperglycemia, hypokalemia, and metabolic alkalosis. Serum cortisol levels remained elevated after overnight high-dose dexamethasone suppression. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a small mass in the head of the pancreas with scattered liver metastases. Both ...
متن کاملThe ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone syndrome in carcinoid tumors.
Ectopic production of adrenocorticotropic hormone by carcinoid tumors is relatively uncommon and may not be recognized by physicians. This report describes a woman who had Cushing syndrome from the ectopic secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone by a carcinoid tumor. Her cause of death was a pneumonia that may have been secondary to her untreated hypercortisolism. There are threeinstructive el...
متن کاملMetastatic Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor that Progressed to Ectopic Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) Syndrome with Growth Hormone-releasing Hormone (GHRH) Production
The patient was a 61-year-old woman who had a well-differentiated pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (PNET) with lymph node metastasis. After 15 months of octreotide treatment, glucose control deteriorated and pigmentation of the tongue and moon face developed, leading to the diagnosis of ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) syndrome. An abnormal secretion of growth hormone (GH) was identifi...
