Ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) syndrome: two case reports.

Background: Clinically, the incidence of ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) syndrome (EAS) is often obscured, making it difficult to identify the primary lesion. This can pose challenges in both diagnosing and treating the disease. Therefore, this paper presents two cases of EAS to share insights and guide diagnosis and treatment approaches.
