Abstract
Acromegaly due to ectopic secretion of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) is rare. A 29-year-old woman with acromegaly secondary to ectopic GHRH secretion by a bronchial carcinoid tumor is presented. Normalization of GHRH levels, reversal of pituitary hyperplasia and regression of acromegaly followed resection of the bronchial tumor. The authors stressed the interest of GHRH dosage in patients with acromegaly and pituitary hyperplasia.
