Intensive localization studies are therefore warranted. However, frequently, and especially in small centrally located tumors, various imaging modalities are inconclusive. Recently, somatostatin receptor scintigraphic studies using the radiolabeled long-acting somatostatin analog Indium-111-pentetreotide (Mallinckrodt Medical, Pettem, the Netherlands) have enabled the detection of medullary thyroid carcinoma and islet cell tumor, both secreting ACTH. However, a small ACTH-secreting bronchial carcinoid was not similarly identified [3]. We describe a patient with ACTH-producing malignant bronchial carcinoid in whom octreotide scintigraphy led to localization of the tumor and its successful ...References1.
