Resumen

El síndrome de Cushing es una enfermedad muy rara pero asociada a una morbimortalidad significativa. Se clasifica como dependiente de la hormona adrenocorticotrópica (ACTH: tumores hipofisiarios y ectópicos) o independiente de ACTH (lesiones de origen adrenal). En la mayoría de los casos, las lesiones responsables del síndrome corresponden a tumores hipofisiarios, seguida de lesiones adrenales y por último de tumores ectópicos (5-15% de todos los casos).
En este artículo se hará una revisión de los aspectos epidemiológicos, clínicos, diagnósticos y terapéuticos más importantes de los tumores ectópicos causantes del síndrome de Cushing.
