A case of ectopic gonadotropin production by a bronchogenic carcinoma is presented. Eleven similar cases have been previously reported. Urine gonadotropin titres appeared related to the size of the tumour mass since they decreased with response to treatment and increased when the tumour started progressing again. The hormone is most probably elaborated and secreted by the tumour cells.
本文报告一例支气管癌异位分泌促性腺激素的病例。此前已有11例类似病例的报道。尿促性腺激素滴度似乎与肿瘤块大小相关,因为随着治疗起效其滴度下降,而当肿瘤再次进展时则升高。该激素很可能是由肿瘤细胞合成并分泌的。
