A 29-year-old woman presenting with an ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone syndrome and a nodule of the upper lobe of the left lung was explored by indium 111 (111 In) octreotide scintigraphy. This showed a pathologic uptake by the nodule. Treatment with octreotide resulted in the rapid control of hypercortisolism prior to surgery.

Key Words: bronchial carcinoid • Cushing's syndrome • ectopic ACTH secretion • somatostatin receptor scintigraphy
