Notes:
Summary Bilateral adrenalectomy was performed in a 27-year-old male because of Cushing's syndrome. After 7 years a peripheral bronchial carcinoid was diagnosed; ACTH values went back to normal only after removal of the carcinoid. In the literature, there are 31 case reports on bronchial carcinoids associated with Cushing's syndrome. The Cushing's syndrome precedes the diagnosis of a tumor for months to years in at least half of the cases. Most of these patients first underwent adrenalectomy and/or hypophysectomy for their primarily endocrine symptoms and signs.
