Case Discussion
Bilateral non-nodular enlargement of the adrenal glands in a patient with thymic carcinoid tumour compatible with acquired adrenal hyperplasia.
Thymic carcinoid tumour is the most common type of neuroendocrine tumour of the thymus. Up to 50% of affected patients have hormonal abnormalities, and up to 35% have Cushing syndrome owing to tumoural production of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). ACTH secretion causes adrenal hyperplasia in these patients.
