Use of 18F-FDG PET/CT to Differentiate Ectopic Adrenocorticotropic Hormone-Secreting Lung Tumors From Tumor-Like Pulmonary Infections in Patients With Ectopic Cushing Syndrome

Use of 18F-FDG PET/CT to Differentiate Ectopic Adrenocorticotropic Hormone-Secreting Lung Tumors From Tumor-Like Pulmonary Infections in Patients With Ectopic Cushing Syndrome

BackgroundEctopic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-secreting lung tumors represent the most common cause of ectopic Cushing syndrome (ECS). Pulmonary opportunistic infections are associated with ECS. The present study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of 18F-FDG PET/CT for differentiating ectopic A...
