LEE, Soon Liang; NG, Chiun Yann; SIDHU, Jasminder    AWANG, Asmawiza. A Rare Case of Ectopic Adrenocorticotropic Hormone Secretion from Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumour Presenting with Cushing Syndrome. []. , 30, 3, pp.66-69.   01--2023. ISSN 2341-4545.  https://doi.org/10.1159/000521518.

Ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone secretion (EAS) from the pancreatic neuroendocrine tumour (PNET) is rare, aggressive, and challenging to treat. We hereby present a rare case of EAS from PNET presenting with Cushing syndrome diagnosed with endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration cytology. This case highlights the advanced presentation of EAS from PNET with poor clinical correlation of hypercortisolism and the grade of PNET.
