Thyroid carcinoma and Cushing's syndrome

Abstract: SYNOPSIS Two cases of thyroid carcinoma and Cushing's syndrome are reported. Nine other previously published cases of this association are reviewed: in one the thyroid tumour was described as medullary, in two as papillary, and in the other six as anaplastic, undifferentiated, atypical, or solid carcinoma. Both of our own cases were medullary carcinomas of the thyroid, and on reviewing the histology of five of the other cases all proved to be medullary carcinoma with identifiable amyloid in the stroma.

“…Williams, Morales, and Horn (1968) stress the close relationship between medullary carcinoma, certain thymic tumours, oat cell carcinoma, and carcinoid tumours, all of which may produce a variety of peptide hormones. Weichert (1970) suggests that cells in these tumours with the capacity to form peptide hormones have a neural crest origin in common with similar neuroendocrine cells which migrate into the endocrine glands.…”

“…Adrenal venography and the hormone deter minations at different levels of the inferior vena cava have further contributed to the differential diagnosis of the adrenal tumors (15,23).

“…Das klinische Bild wird natürlich auch durch die hormonellen und enzymatischen Abweichungen dieses Syndroms bestimmt. Außer Calcitonin kann das medulläre Schilddrüsenkarzinom noch Histaminase (4,5), Dopa-Decarboxylase (2, 22), Prostaglandin (11, 50), Serotonin (25,42), ACTH (12,27,51), CRF (»corticotropin-releasing factor«) und »PRF« (»prolactin releasing factor«) ( 7) produzieren oder enthalten.…”
