| Popis: |
A 52-year-old female patient with breast cancer presented with a history of fatigue and malaise 1 year prior. She was diagnosed with isolated adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) deficiency (IAD) on endocrinological examination. Her pituitary gland showed normal morphology. Paraneoplastic IAD associated with breast cancer was suspected; however, immunofluorescence staining revealed no ectopic ACTH or proopiomelanocortin expression in the tumor tissue. Subsequently, the patient was diagnosed with idiopathic acquired IAD concurrent with breast cancer, ruling out paraneoplastic syndrome. Although malignancy should be considered a potential cause of IAD, not all patients with concurrent IAD and malignancy necessarily develop paraneoplastic syndrome. |
