Twenty-one patients with EPNS were detected: 16 with ectopic Cushing’s syndrome (ECS), one with hypercalcaemia due to parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) secretion, three with hypercalcitonaemia and one patient with dual secretion of calcitonin and beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG). This evidence concerns the gene PTHLH and Hypercalcemia.
