Acromegaly: a rare manifestation of bronchial carcinoid.

Bronchial carcinoids usually present with pulmonary symptoms. Neurohumoral manifestations in the form of acromegaly and Cushing's syndrome are rarely encountered. We report a case of bronchial carcinoid with features of acromegaly due to ectopic production of growth hormone-releasing hormone. Surgical resection of the lung lesion resulted in regression of acromegalic features, normalization of growth hormone secretory dynamics, and remarkable diminution of pituitary size seen on magnetic resonance imaging.
