[Paraneoplastic hypercorticism associated with a bronchial adenocarcinoma].

Cushing's syndrome is infrequently associated with adenocarcinomas of the lung. We present the clinical features of this syndrome in one case report. The pathogenesis of the syndrome explains the clinical signs, rather different from classical Cushing's disease and also the highly suggestive biological features. Ketoconazole improves clinical signs and biological abnormalities when etiological treatment is not effective.
