An uncommon cause of Cushing's syndrome in a 70-year-old man.

[cushing syndrome]

Cushing 's syndrome due to exogenous steroids is common , as about 1 % of the general populations use exogenous steroids for various indications . Although endogenous Cushing 's syndrome due to ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone from a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumour is rare , a correct and early diagnosis is important . The diagnosis and management require high clinical acumen and collaboration between different specialists . We report a case of ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone Cushing 's syndrome due to pancreatic neuroendocrine tumour with liver metastasis . Early recognition by endocrinologists with timely surgical resection followed by referral to oncologists led to a favourable outcome for the patient up to 12 months after initial presentation .
