Abstract
A patient is described in whom adrenocortical hyperplasia and bronchogenic carcinoma were shown to coexist. The responses of this patient to treatment with the 11β-hydroxylase inhibitor SU-4885, suppression with dexamethasone and stimulation with ACTH are presented. Because of a paradoxic response to these various stimuli, it was believed that this patient was suffering from an adrenocortical tumor. The possible reasons for this error are analyzed.Keywords
