Rare localization of an ACTH-producing tumour
https://doi.org/10.14341/probl201460146-50
Abstract
The ultimate rarity of ACTH-ectopic syndrome caused by a caecal tumour, its diversified clinical picture, and difficulty of topical diagnostics are the main causes of many diagnostic errors and the resulting unsuccessful treatment of this condition. The present paper was designed to report 3 our experience with the management of the patients presenting with this pathology.
