MSH-producing gastric tumour.
MSH-producing gastric tumour. A case report. A patient with melanosis due to MSH-production by a gastric tumour is described. It is also possible that the tumour was producing gastrin, whereas there was no sign of increased ACTH-production. This is the first patient described with a MSH-producing tumour without concomitant ACTH-production.
