Ectopic ACTH syndrome is a very rare cause of pediatric Cushing’s syndrome. And if present, bronchial or thymic carcinoids predominate as causes. We hereby demonstrate a first case report of ACTH-producing ovarian steroid cell tumor, NOS, causing ectopic ACTH syndrome in a prepubertal girl.
Objective Hypercoagulability is a commonly described complication in patients with Cushing’s syndrome. Recent clinical studies have indicated various abnormalities of coagulation and fibrinolysis parameters which may be related to that phenomenon. The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanisms underlying the hypercoagulable state in patients with Cushing’s syndrome. Research methods and procedures...
The role of 18F-Flurodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18F-FDG PET) scan in localization of ectopic Cushing’s syndrome (EAS) tumor is still controversial. Here, we report on the use of integrated 18F-FDG PET and computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) in localization of EAS tumors in patients with ectopic Cushing’s syndrome. Five patients, three men and two women, were reported, whose endocrine...
