Ectopic ACTH production in disseminated prostatic adenocarcinoma
Abstract
The second fully documented case of ACTH-producing prostatic adenocarcinoma with elevated plasma and tissue levels of ACTH is presented. The distinguishing characteristics of ACTH-producing extrapituitary neoplasms and the various modes of therapy are discussed.
