Abstract
Acromegaly is usually caused by a growth hormone (GH)-secreting pituitary adenoma. In rare cases, however, it is caused by the ectopic production of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH). We report a case of acromegaly due to ectopic production of GHRH from a bronchial carcinoid in a 42-year-old female. The carcinoid tumor was successfully treated with bilobectomy.
摘要
肢端肥大症通常由分泌生长激素（GH）的垂体腺瘤引起。然而，在罕见情况下，它是由生长激素释放激素（GHRH）的异位分泌所致。我们报告一例42岁女性因支气管类癌异位分泌GHRH导致肢端肥大症的病例。该类癌肿瘤通过肺叶切除术成功治疗。
