Carcinoid tumor of lung with Cushing’s syndrome is a rare condition. We report a 38-year-old man, with a 28-month history of Cushing’s syndrome presented with hypertension, diabetes mellitus, decreased libido, muscle weakness and fatigability, moon facies, buffalo hump, truncal obesity, cutaneous striae, and easy bruisability. Diagnosis was made by measurements of ACTH (149 pg/mL) and cortisol levels (36 μg/dL) and computerized tomography of the chest.
