DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2019.00936

Abstract: Ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) syndrome caused by paraganglioma is extremely rare. It usually accompanied by high or normal plasma ACTH level. Here we described a male who presented with ectopic ACTH-producing paraganglioma and a low… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2022.1004129

Abstract: Objective To determine whether a single measurement of ACTH instead of less available in daily practice 11-deoxycortisol assay is sufficient to rule out or confirm secondary adrenal insufficiency (SAI) in the short Metyrapone test. Design… read more here.
