title: Use of somatostatin analog for localization and treatment of ACTH secreting bronchial carcinoid tumor.
abstract: A 29-year-old woman presenting with an ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone syndrome and a nodule of the upper lobe of the left lung was explored by indium 111 (111In) octreotide scintigraphy. This showed a pathologic uptake by the nodule. Treatment with octreotide resulted in the rapid control of hypercortisolism prior to surgery.
