  • We report a case of extensive stage SCLC with EAS confirmed by immunohistochemical stain of ACTH in tumor cells who died early due to rapidly progressive acute respiratory distress and pneumonia before the start of chemotherapy and corticosteroid blocking agent. Through our case, we learn how important early diagnosis and treatment of EAS associated with SCLC are and hope to apply to other cases from now on.
