Abstract

Various malignancies have been associated with ectopic adrenocorticotropin hormone production causing paraneoplastic Cushing’s syndrome. The most common culprits are small cell lung carcinoma, carcinoid tumors and medullary cancer of the thyroid. Early suspicion and appropriate work up can help diagnose and manage the excessive adrenocorticoid state.
