The patient's clinical course was complicated by co-infection with cytomegalovirus and Pneumocystis jirovechi, which improved with appropriate antimicrobial therapy and suppression of endogenous steroidogenesis with ketoconazole and octreotide. Radiation to the mass in the nasal cavity resulted in reduction of tumor size and remission of the Cushing's syndrome. This is the first report of the ectopic ACTH syndrome resulting from olfactory neuroblastoma in Korea.(Korean J Med 71:309-315, 2006) Key Words : Neuroblastoma, Olfactory, ACTH Syndrome, Ectopic 서론부신생물증후군 (paraneoplastic syndrome) 으로이소성부신피질자극호르몬 (ACTH) 증후군을동반하는종양으로는소세포폐암 (50%), 카시노이드분비종 (17%), 췌도종양 (10%) 등이있다 1, 2). 이외에도유방암 3), 결장암, 5), 전립선암 6) 에합병된보고들이있지만매우드물다. 본증례는후신경모세포종에의한이소성 ACTH 증후군증례로서조사한바에의하면후신경모세포종에합병된이소성 ACTH 증후군은 1987년부터현재까지네예가보고되었을뿐이다 7-10). 저자들은국내에서는최초로후신 경모세포종에의한이소성 ACTH 증후군 1예를경험하였기에보고하는바이다. 증례 37세여자환자가내원 1일전시작된발열과마른기침을주소로응급실을방문하였다. 환자는내원 2개월전비강과우측사골동, 접형동을침범하는후신경모세포종을진단받고 ( 그림 1A) 내원 3주전까지 2회의선행화학항암요법 (neoadjuvant chemotherapy; etoposide (100 mg/m 2 ), ifosphamide (1,500 mg/m 2 ), cisplatin (80 mg/m 2 )) 을시행받았다. 비강내종괴에서시행한생검은 Received : 2005. 8. 25.
