In conclusion, we report a case of ACTH-dependent Cushing’s syndrome, caused by an ectopic corticotroph adenoma located in the sphenoidal sinus, which perfectly mimicked the biological features of a classical pituitary ACTH adenoma on a comprehensive hormonal evaluation including BIPPS, and the features of a benign naso-sinusal polyp at MRI. This evidence concerns the gene POMC and ACTH-producing pituitary gland adenoma.
