An autopsy case of an ACTH-producing pituitary carcinoma in a 59-year-old man who developed Cushing's disease is reported. The surgically removed pituitary tumor was diagnosed as chromophobe adenoma, however, pulmonary metastases appeared 2 years after the operation. Autopsy revealed a residual pituitary tumor in the sella turcica with systemic metastases to the lungs, liver, pulmonary lymph nodes, hypothalamus, dura mater, and the subarachnoid space of the midbrain and spinal cord. Immunohistochemistry revealed ACTH positivity in the tumor cells. |
