N2 - Ectopic Cushing syndrome constitutes approximately 10% of all patients with Cushing syndrome. The clinical features of hypercortisolism result from elevated levels of adrenocorticotropic hormone produced by a tumor. The present case presented with clinical and biochemical parameters suggestive of Cushing syndrome with normal pituitary and adrenals on imaging. 68Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT done to localize an ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone-producing tumor revealed metastatic medullary carcinoma of the thyroid as the culprit lesion.
