  • Title: [ACTH-dependent Cushing syndrome, a diagnostic challenge].
    Author: Fuentes Tudanca S, Ortiz de Urbina PM, De Dios LM, Gallego Rodríguez S, Pérez Pelayo M, Del Olmo García D.
    Journal: Endocrinol Nutr; 2009 Apr; 56(4):205-8. PubMed ID: 19627738.
    Abstract:
    ACTH dependent Cushing syndrome accounts for approximately 80% of all Cushing syndrome. Distinguishing the pituitary origin from ectopic one is still a diagnosis problem in some cases, especially in bronchial carcinoids, because approximately 50% show cortisol suppresion after dexametasone and may be small and, therefore, difficult to detect in chest radiography. We present a case of a patient with ACTH dependent Cushing syndrome of difficult localization with usual diagnosis tests.
