title: Adrenocorticotropic hormone-secreting ganglioneuroblastoma associated with opsomyoclonic encephalopathy: a case report with immunohistochemical study.
abstract: This report describes a case of a 3-year-old female with Cushing's syndrome associated with ganglioneuroblastoma and opsomyoclonic encephalopathy. Immunohistochemistry showed the tumor to be adrenocorticotropic hormone-secreting. At autopsy, a cerebellar degenerative lesion was also demonstrated.
