A Pheochromocytoma With Adrenocorticotropic Hormone Secretion and Subsequent Fatal Outcome: A Case Report.

Hypercortisolemia and hypercatecholaminemia in ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-secreting pheochromocytoma represent life-threatening conditions, particularly when diagnosis is delayed. In this case, a 66-year-old male patient with poorly controlled diabetes presented with severe constipation in the absence of the classic Cushingoid phenotype. Computed tomography revealed bilateral adrenal masses, and I-metaiodobenzylguanidine scintigraphy revealed radiotracer uptake in the left adrenal gland.

A case of primary lung adenocarcinoma mimicking metastatic papillary thyroid carcinoma.

A 61-year-old woman, who had a history of total thyroidectomy for follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), visited our hospital for assessment of an enlarging nodule which appeared in the lung with multiple metastatic lesions of PTC which had been stable for 17 years. Wedge resection of the lung was performed. Miliary nodules were confirmed to be metastatic PTCs based on their morphological as well as immunohistochemical findings.
