Bronchial Carcinoid tumour as a rare cause of Cushing ’s syndrome in children – A case report and review of literature

Conclusion: Bronchial carcinoid is extremely rare in children and only 4% of them are associated with CS. The postoperative treatment of CS is challenging with high prevalence of hypertension, increased BMI and visceral fat mass, impaired cognitive functions and decreased quality of life. Our patient was managed successfully by multidisciplinary approach and has recovered from hypertension and Cushing’s habitus. A careful follow up is indispensable to monitor recurrence of carcinoid and complete remission of CS. PMID: 31898446 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
