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.
^len^aA secreção ectópica de hormona adrenocorticotrópica (SEA) por tumores neuroendócrinos pancreáticos (TNE-P) é rara, agressiva e difícil de tratar. Apresentamos um caso raro de SEA por TNE-P apresentando-se com síndroma de Cushing, diagnosticado através de ecoendoscopia com punção aspirativa com agulha fina. Este caso enfatiza a apresentação avançada dos TNE-P com SEA e a correlação baixa com o grau de hipercortisolismo e o grau do TNE-P.
