In the context of ACTH‐dependent Cushing's syndrome, ectopic ACTH secretion from a
neuroendocrine tumour is not uncommon, and needs to be carefully differentiated from …

BACKGROUND: Differentiation between the two forms of ACTH-dependent Cushing's
syndrome is a challenging task. Although the majority of these cases will be diagnosed as …

Ectopic adrenocorticotropin secretion (EAS) accounts for 10-15% of cases of Cushing's
syndrome and comprises a spectrum of tumours from undetectable isolated lesions to …

Ectopic Cushing's syndrome usually relates to the ectopic ACTH syndrome (EAS) and
represents∼ 20% of ACTH-dependent and∼ 10% of all types of Cushing's syndrome (CS) …

ACTH production are described and biochemical data are compared with those of 48 …

Purpose Ectopic Cushing Syndrome (EAS) is a rare condition responsible for about 5–20%
of all Cushing syndrome cases. It increases the mortality of affected patients thus finding and …

Once the diagnosis of Cushing's syndrome (CS) has been established, the main step is to
differentiate between ACTH dependent and independent disease. In adults, 80% of CS is …

Cushing's syndrome (CS) is a rare but detrimental endocrine disorder. Early diagnosis and
prompt treatment are essential since the duration of hypercortisolism has an adverse impact …

Establishing the cause of Cushing's syndrome (CS) should be undertaken only after the
clinical and biochemical diagnosis has been confirmed. This process of differential …

Cushing's syndrome refers to the clinical manifestations induced by chronic exposure to
