dc.description.abstractObjective: To compare clinical and hormonal data, neuroendocrine neoplasia (NEN) localization, treatment, and survival outcomes in ectopic Cushing's syndrome (ECS) by sex. Methods: Eleven experienced centers from our country participated in this retrospective study. The clinical and hormonal features, tumor imaging, pathological results, treatment modalities, and disease courses of the patients were evaluated. Results: 28 female and 26 male patients with ECS were compared. The mean age at diagnosis, clinical characteristics, and hormonal evaluation results were similar. However, insulin-requiring diabetes mellitus (p = 0.04) and osteoporosis with fractures were more common in males (p = 0.03). While more patients with increased DHEA-S levels than the upper limit of normal were found to be higher in females, central hypothyroidism were higher in males (p = 0.02). At the diagnosis, 36 NENs (68% of females and 69% of males) were localized. Small cell lung carcinoma was higher in males (p = 0.02), and the frequency of other NENs was not different. Curative surgery was performed on 61% of females and 46% of males. Tumor size, Ki-67 labeling index, positive ACTH immunostaining, local lymph node and distant metastasis rates were similar in both sexes. In the follow-up, the tumor became visible in 7 of 10 females and 4 of 8 males after medical treatment and/or bilateral adrenalectomy. The remission rates (65% of females, 62% of males) and NEN-related death rates (14% of females, 30% of males) were similar. Conclusion: While ECS has a similar disease course in many aspects in males and females, hyperglycemia and osteoporosis are more severe in males.en_US
