## Overview

[edit | edit source]

An ACTH secreting tumor is a type of pituitary adenoma which produces ACTH.

## Pathophysiology

[edit | edit source]

The tumor stains basophilic on pathologic examination. The excess production of ACTH by the tumor results in Cushing's syndrome.

## Diagnosis

[edit | edit source]

Pituitary adenomas may grow and compress adjacent structures, most commonly causing a bitemporal hemianopsia due to compression of the optic chiasm. Lateral extension into the cavernous sinuses can result in cranial nerve palsies.
