Ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) syndrome was the first ectopic hormone syndrome to be described. It has been shown that most lung tumors have elevated ACTH levels, and most patients with these tumors have high serum ACTH values. The few cases in which cushing's syndrome develops are presumed to have bilateral adrenal hyperplasia. We encountered a case of ectopic ACTH-caused Cushing's syndrome due to unilateral adrenal hypertrophy.
异位促肾上腺皮质激素(ACTH)综合征是首个被描述的异位激素综合征。已表明大多数肺部肿瘤的ACTH水平升高,并且这些肿瘤的大多数患者血清ACTH值也高。少数发生库欣综合征的病例被推测有双侧肾上腺增生。我们遇到了一例因单侧肾上腺肥大导致的异位ACTH引起的库欣综合征病例。
