Objective: Ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH-ectopic) syndrome (EAS) is a rare cause of ACTH-dependent endogenous hypercortisolism. The objective of this study was to analyze the clinical, biochemical, and radiological features, management, and treatment outcome of patients with EAS.Methods: It was a retrospective case-record study of 47 patients with EAS. Clinical, biochemical, and radiological features and response to therapy and survival rate ...

Phaeochromocytomas are responsible for the development ACTH-ectopic syndrome in 5% cases. Less than 1% phaeochromocytoma accompanied by symptoms of ACTH-dependent hypercortisolism. We observed four cases of ACTH-secreting phaeochromocytoma during 2 years. All patients were women from 50 to 63 years. The disease duration ranged from 6 months to 5 years. The clinical picture presented the signs of hypercortisolism (matronism, hyperpigmentation of the skin, the redistribution of ...
