    Glossary Ectopic ACTH Syndrome

    non-pituitary tumors produce ACTH, causing excess cortisol production

    Ectopic ACTH Syndrome is a condition where non-pituitary tumors, often found in the lungs, pancreas, or thymus, produce adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). This leads to excessive cortisol production by the adrenal glands, causing symptoms like weight gain, high blood pressure, and muscle weakness.
