  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

We report a 36-year-old man with proximal dominant muscle weakness, thymic tumor, diabetes mellitus, hypokalemia, and increased levels of plasma ACTH and cortisol. The diagnosis of car-cinoid tumor was made on the basis of pathological findings in the biopsied specimen of the thymic tumor. The proximal muscle weakness was consid-ered to be due to steroid myopathy resulting from the overproduction of cortisol from the adrenal glands induced by the ectopic ACTH secreted by the thymic carcinoid tumor.
