title: [Biochemical form of a paraneoplastic Cushing's syndrome (author's transl)].
abstract: Paraneoplastic hypercorticism appears either as a fullfledged Cushing's syndrome with adiposity of the trunk, moon face and striae or as a biochemical form with hypokalemic alkalosis, adynamia and muscular atrophy. A form of the disease with the biochemical type in bronichial carcinoma is reported, which emphasizes also the significance of paraneoplastic syndromes for the early diagnosis of neoplasia.
