A Rare Case of Ectopic Adrenocorticotropic Hormone Secretion from Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumour Presenting with Cushing Syndrome. GE Port J Gastroenterol [online]. 2023, vol.30, n.3, pp.66-69.  Epub Sep 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.

Keywords : Adrenocorticotropic hormone; Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumour; Cushing syndrome.
