Adrenal Myelolipoma: A Computed Tomography Diagnosis
Adrenal myelolipoma is a benign adrenocortical tumor composed of adipose tissue and bone marrow elements; it is reported in one out of 500–1250 autopsy cases. Adrenal myelolipoma is typically diagnosed…
Cushing Syndrome in the Setting of Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1
When a patient with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN-1) presents with Cushing syndrome (CS), it may be corticotropin (ACTH) independent (e.g., adenoma, carcinoma, or bilateral macronodular adrenal hyperplasia) or…
Cushing Syndrome Associated With Ectopic Corticotropin and Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone–Secreting Pheochromocytoma
Most patients with corticotropin (ACTH)-dependent Cushing syndrome (CS) will have an ACTH-secreting pituitary microadenoma. Approximately 15% of patients with ACTH-dependent CS have an ectopic source of ACTH secretion. The most…
Mild Cushing Syndrome Associated With Ectopic Corticotropin Secretion
Most patients with corticotropin (ACTH)-dependent Cushing syndrome (CS) will have an ACTH-secreting pituitary microadenoma. Approximately 15% of patients with ACTH-dependent CS have an ectopic source of ACTH secretion, with the…
Bilateral Adrenal Cryoablation in Corticotropin-Dependent Cushing Syndrome
Most patients with corticotropin (ACTH)-dependent Cushing syndrome (CS) will have an ACTH-secreting pituitary microadenoma. When the pituitary appears normal on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), it is important to distinguish between…
Cyclical Ectopic Cushing Syndrome
Most patients with corticotropin (ACTH)-dependent Cushing syndrome (CS) will have an ACTH-secreting pituitary microadenoma. Approximately 15% of patients with ACTH-dependent CS have an ectopic source of ACTH secretion. The most…
Ectopic Cushing Syndrome Treated With Cryoablation
Most patients with corticotropin (ACTH)-dependent Cushing syndrome (CS) will have an ACTH-secreting pituitary microadenoma. Approximately 15% of patients with ACTH-dependent CS have an ectopic source of ACTH secretion, with the…
Ectopic Cushing Syndrome Associated With Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 2B
Approximately 15% of patients with corticotropin (ACTH)-dependent Cushing syndrome (CS) have an ectopic source of ACTH secretion, with the most common source being a bronchial carcinoid (≈25%). Ectopic CS resulting…
