  • Title: Generalised hyperpigmentation caused by ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone syndrome with recurrent thymic neuroendocrine carcinoma.
    Author: Moon HR, Won CH, Chang SE, Lee MW, Choi JH, Moon KC.
    Journal: Australas J Dermatol; 2015 May; 56(2):131-3. PubMed ID: 25123488.
    Abstract:
    Ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) syndrome is a rare cause of generalised hyperpigmentation. The clinical features are due to the excessive ectopic secretion of adenocorticotropin by diverse neuroendocrine or non-endocrine tumours. Here, we describe a rare case of ectopic ACTH syndrome developing from recurring thymic neuroendocrine carcinoma, which first presented as generalised hyperpigmentation.
