1 he endogenous Cushing syndrome results from exces-sive Cortisol secretion that is usually secondary to exces-sive adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) secretion. About 85% of patients with the ACTH-dependent Cushing syndrome have ACTH-secreting pituitary microadenomas (Cushing disease). Most of the remaining patients have ACTH-secreting nonpituitary tumors (the ectopic ACTH syn-drome), usually small-cell lung carcinomas, and follow an acute clinical course different from that of patients with Cushing disease (1). However, about one fifth of patients with the ectopic ACTH syndrome have indolent tumors (usually bronchial carcinoids) and may present with a clinical picture indistinguishable from that of Cushing dis-ease. Further, the classic test for ...
