THE MERCK MANUAL, Sec. 2, Ch. 9, Adrenal Disorders ACTH -dependent hyperfunction of the adrenal cortex may be due to (1) hypersecretion of ACTH by the pituitary gland; (2) secretion of ACTH by a nonpituitary tumor, such as small cell carcinoma of the lung (the ectopic ACTH syndrome); or (3) administration of exogenous ACTH. ACTH syndrome, the production of ACTH by...
