Success with Lutetium-177 DOTATATE Therapy in Cushing’s Syndrome Caused by Functional Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor (pNET) with Ectopic Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) Secretion Refractory to Concomitant Everolimus, Pasireotide and Metyrapone

Introduction: We report a case of a 59-year-old female presenting with florid ACTH-dependent Cushing’s syndrome complicated by pulmonary cryptococcal infection.
Aim(s):
Materials and methods: Following a normal pituitary MRI, a CT demonstrated an inoperable pancreatic mass with regional lymphadenopathy. Para-aortic lymph node biopsy demonstrated low to intermediate grade pNET with positive immunohistochemical staining for ACTH and Ki-67
