Pituitary Cushing's disease arising from a previously non-functional corticotrophic chromophobe adenoma.

abstract：:In recent years the techniques of molecular and cellular biology have made it possible to begin to dissect the origins and behaviour of the ACTH-secreting tumour cell. It is becoming apparent that these tumours represent undifferentiated neuroendocrine cells, and it may be that their peptide-secreting properties may h...
