Ectopic Cushing’s syndrome: Experience from a tertiary care center

#3310

Introduction: Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) causing ectopic Cushing’s syndrome (ECS) are relatively rare and very challenging to treat.

Aim(s): In this retrospective study we aimed to evaluate predictive/prognostic parameters and treatment options in ECS.

Materials and methods: 53 patients with ECS caused by a NEN (35 females/18 men), mean age 53±15 (SD) years, were identified from medical records at a tertiary care center. Epidemiological and clinical data, survival as well as indications and timing of surgery, complications and surgical techniques were extracted and further analysed.
