Abstract:
A mid-aged male patient manifested hyperglycemia, severe hypokalemia, weight loss, thin skin, round face and psychoneurotic symptoms without hypertension. CT showed a pancreatic tumor and a normal pituitary image. Preliminary assessment (blood and urinary cortisol, blood ACTH and dexamethasone suppression test) supported the diagnosis of ectopic ACTH syndrome. The differential diagnosis and treatment of this disease were discussed.
