  • Title: A misleading cause of pseudo-thymic tumor in ectopic Cushing's syndrome.
    Author: Icard P, Heyndrickx M, Galateau-Salle F, Resnik Y.
    Journal: Asian Cardiovasc Thorac Ann; 2013 Apr; 21(2):224-6. PubMed ID: 24532629.
    Abstract:
    A 27-year-old man was referred with typical features of severe Cushing's syndrome. A bilateral adrenalectomy was performed. Three months later, a triangular nodular mediastinal enlargement, evocative of a right anterior thymic tumor, was discovered. Thymectomy was undertaken. Histological examination revealed diffuse thymic hyperplasia with negative immunostaining for adrenocorticotropic hormone. Five years later, a right endobronchial tumor corresponding to a carcinoid tumor was removed.
