L Burrell1, C E Gray, J A Thomson.   

Abstract

A patient with ectopic Cushing's syndrome secondary to a malignant thymic carcinoid tumour was treated with the somatostatin analogue SMS 201-995. The administration of the drug subcutaneously in increasing doses over a 34 day period failed to control the ACTH or glucocorticoid excess.
