- Abstract
- Neuroendocrine tumors of the gallbladder are rare, and typically found incidentally after a cholecystectomy. Few data are
available on adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH)-producing neuroendocrine tumors originating specifically from the
gallbladder. We experienced the case of a patient with a gallbladder mass who presented with Cushing’s syndrome, who was
subsequently diagnosed as an ACTH-producing neuroendocrine carcinoma of the gallbladder. Despite being rare, hormoneproducing
neuroendocrine tumors should be part of the differential diagnosis in patients with Cushing’s syndrome.
