Abstract
We report an adolescent boy diagnosed with ectopic adrenocorticotropin hormone syndrome (EAS) due to an atypical bronchial carcinoid. The patient was managed by a multidisciplinary team. He underwent surgery and subsequent chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatments. The patient is still under our follow-up. At the time of writing, eighteen pediatric and adolescent patients with EAS because of bronchial carcinoid tumors have been reported. EAS due to bronchial carcinoids is very rare in children and adolescents. Careful diagnostic evaluation and rapid treatment should be started immediately. Although complete remission is possible, atypical carcinoids have a more aggressive nature. A multidisciplinary approach and follow-up is recommended in terms of quality of life and survival.
