[Cushing syndrome in ACTH-producing neuroendocrine tumor of the hepatic duct].
We present a patient with an ACTH producing neuroendocrine tumor of the hepatic bile duct which was detected by chance during abdominal surgery for Cushing's syndrome. Diagnostic strategy and surgical therapy in patients with neuroendocrine tumors are discussed. The diagnostic problems caused by combination with an endocrine function disorder like Cushing's syndrome are pointed out.
