Ectopic ACTH Syndrome in a Patient with Small Cell Lung Carcinoma: A Case Report

Abstract

Ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone secretion (Ectopic ACTH) is associated with a broad range of tumors, the vast majority of which are neuroendocrine cell origin. Although the syndrome is related with severe hypercortisolism, some classical signs and symptoms of the Cushing syndrome may not be seen. But many neurocognitive functional disorders may be seen such as deppression and anxiety. Suppression of the cellular and humaral immune system in these patients is severe problem for both patients and physicians. In this paper, we aimed to report a small cell lung cancer patient with ectopic ACTH syndrome, who exhibited neutropenic fever and pneumonia after chemotherapy, despite appropriate prophylaxis.
