DISSEMINATED ASPERGILLOSIS, CUSHINGS-SYNDROME, AND OAT-CELL CARCINOMA OF THE LUNG

Disseminated aspergillosis is a known complication of neoplastic disease; however, it is usually associated with neoplasms of the hematopoietic or lymphoreticular systems or with immunosuppressed states. We describe the previously unreported association of disseminated aspergillosis and Cushing's syndrome secondary to a corticotropin-secreting oat cell carcinoma of the lung. We review the current literature on disseminated aspergillosis complicating neoplastic disease.
