Cushing's Disease can be related to cancer in several ways. Primarily, the pituitary tumors causing Cushing's Disease are typically benign (non-cancerous) adenomas. However, there can be instances where the tumor is malignant (cancerous). Additionally, other types of cancers, such as lung cancer or pancreatic cancer, can produce ectopic ACTH, mimicking Cushing's Disease. This condition is known as ectopic ACTH syndrome.
