She received chemotherapy and radiotherapy then and gradually lost her cushingoid appearance. This is the first reported case of clear cell sarcoma of the kidney with ectopic ACTH syndrome. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

We describe a 63-year-old man with metastatic LCNEC to the left temporomandibular joint (TMJ) who presented with progressive muscle weakness and bilateral lower leg edema for 2 weeks. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A secondary E. coli infection was superimposed and the patient died of disseminated intravascular coagulation and adult respiratory distress syndrome. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Ten days after the start of ketoconazole, her cortisol level was 51.3 μg/dl (5–25.0); 24-h urine cortisol, 1202 μg/24-h total volume (20–90) and ACTH, 235 pg/ml ( Bilateral pneumonia due to MRSA and respiratory distress occurred due to her immunosuppressive [edmcasereports.com]

A 25-year-old black homosexual was noted to be hypertensive, hypokalemic, and to have a rectal mass. Histopathology of the biopsied lesion revealed a mixture of poorly differentiated squamous cell and undifferentiated small cell carcinoma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

He had dysphagia, weight loss and hoarseness of voice. Lab tests potassium of 2.5 mmol/l, with normal sodium, urea, creatinine. Bicarbonate 35 mmol/l. [endocrine-abstracts.org]

These data suggested a possibility that SCLC secreted ACTH and caused EAS in this patient. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A 48 years old man, HIV infected, was admitted with polyuria, polidipsia and lower limb weakness. He had hipertension, crackles in the right hemithorax and linphanedophathy. [imed.pub]

For all six patients, the high dose (8 mg) dexamethasone suppression test (HDDST) showed lack of suppression, computed tomography (CT) scanning documented anterior mediastinal masses, and the mediastenal tumors removed were confirmed as ACTH secreting [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In addition to facilitating tumor location, CT with contrast for mediastinal masses could help surgeons to assess the invasion of tumors and estimate the feasibility of complete resection prior to surgery ( Figure 1B ). [dovepress.com]

A computed tomographic (CT) scan revealed intact pituitary and enlarged adrenal glands. Liver metastases were seen but the primary neoplasm was not found. Treatment with aminoglutethimide and other therapeutic measures were unsuccessful. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Liver biopsy confirmed metastatic anorectal carcinoma, and immunohistochemical stains of the rectal biopsy were positive for ACTH and neuron-specific enolase. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Liver biopsies were also positive for the neuroendocrine markers CgA, synaptophysin, neuron-specific enolase, and CD56. Cancer antigen 19-9 levels were very high at 2027.9 U/mL (reference range,  35 U/mL). [consultant360.com]

CT-guided liver biopsy revealed tumour cells of neuroendocrine origin consistent with carcinoid tumour, and urinary 5-hydroxyindole-acetic acid (5HIAA) was high (see table). [pmj.bmj.com]
