Cushing's syndrome in a patient with medullary thyroid cancer glands
https://doi.org/10.14341/probl11623
Abstract
Cases of Cushing's syndrome in patients with medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) are rare. The cause of excessive production of adrenal steroids can be either the medullary carcinoma itself, which secretes ACTH, pro-opiomelanocortin (POMK) or corticoliberin (KRG), or concomitant pituitary and adrenal tumors [5, 6, 8, 10, 15-17, 19]. We represent a patient with MTC, in whom 11 years after the manifestation of MTC, a picture of hypercorticism developed.
