Article Synopsis
- Ectopic secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) is a rare cause of Cushing's syndrome, as seen in a 53-year-old woman diagnosed with ectopic ACTH syndrome due to a pheochromocytoma.
- Endocrine tests confirmed high levels of urinary catecholamines and imaging revealed a left adrenal mass and a hypertrophic right adrenal gland, leading to further investigation of bilateral pheochromocytoma.
- Following treatment with phenoxybenzamine and a bilateral adrenalectomy, the patient's Cushing's syndrome and hypertension were successfully resolved, highlighting the importance of considering these conditions during diagnosis.
