초록

이 증례에서 영상 검사 및 조직 검사를 통해 담낭 신경내분비암종을 진단하였으며, 호르몬 검사 및 면역조직화학 염색으로 담낭 신경내분비암종에 의한 이소성 ACTH 분비 쿠싱 증후군을 확인할 수 있었다. 이소성 ACTH 분비가 있으나 그 원인이 뚜렷하지 않은 쿠싱 증후군 환자에서 신경내분비종양이 존재한다면 신경내분비종양이 이소성 ACTH 증후군을 일으킬 수 있는 가능한 원인 중의 하나로서 고려되어야 할 것이다.

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, hormone-producing neuroendocrine tumors should be part of the differential diagnosis in patients with Cushing's syndrome.
