BACKGROUND
Duodenal gangliocytic paragangliomas are rare neoplasms often arising in proximity to the major duodenal papilla of Vater. These neoplasms are considered to have a benign behavior with lymph node metastases being a rare phenomenon and distant metastatic disease even more so. Resection of
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this study was to assess the quality of life (QoL) in patients with head-and-neck paragangliomas ('glomus tumors').
METHODS
We conducted a case-control study.
METHODS
We assessed QoL in 82 patients with head-and-neck paragangliomas using four validated health-related
BACKGROUND
Germline mutations in succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) genes predispose carriers for developing paragangliomas, and studies on their quality of life (QoL) are scarce.
OBJECTIVE
The objectives of this study were to assess QoL in patients with paragangliomas (PGL), to evaluate long-term QoL,
We report a case of primary pulmonary paraganglioma (PPP) in a 19-year-old female. The patient was admitted to the Clinic with high fever, cough, right chest pain, severe fatigue and elevated WBC count. Antibiotic treatment was ineffective. A control chest X-ray showed a 5 x 6-cm tumor formation in
OBJECTIVE
Chemodectomas (or paragangliomas) are rare tumors of neuroendocrine chemoreceptors, such as the carotid body. This report describes a case of multiple pulmonary chemodectomas in an adolescent and discusses the results of four therapeutic regimens.
METHODS
At 15 years of age, the patient
Several studies have shown that patients with succinate dehydrogenase subunit B (SDHB) mutations have a very high risk for developing malignant paragangliomas. However, there is no consensus of what age screening for paragangliomas should start. We report a case of an 8-year-old white girl with a
A 77-year-old woman who was treated for malignant melanoma was incidentally found to have a bladder tumor on a screening computed tomography (CT). On CT and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the tumor was detected as a well-enhanced tumor (4 x 5 cm at horizontal plane) on the left side of the
Background: Although gangliocytic paraganglioma (GP) is considered a rare benign neuroendocrine tumor, cases of mortality have been reported. Occasionally, GP is misdiagnosed as neuroendocrine tumor G1, which is associated with a poorer prognosis than GP. To avoid such misdiagnoses, it is important
Patients with metastatic or unresectable (advanced) pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma (PPGL) have poor prognoses and few treatment options. This multicenter, phase 2 trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of high-specific-activity I-131 meta-iodobenzylguanidine (HSA I-131 MIBG) in patients with
BACKGROUND
Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (Pheo/PGL) are rare, vascular, sometimes malignant endocrine tumors. Case reports indicate the activity of vascular endothelium growth factor receptor-targeted kinase inhibitors in these cancers.
OBJECTIVE
To assess the antitumor activity and
Pheochromocytoma (PCC) and paraganglioma (PGL) are uncommon neoplasms with high morbidity in advanced stages. Effective systemic treatments are limited.A multisite phase 2 trial evaluated sunitinib in patients with progressive PCC/PGL. Patients received 50 OBJECTIVE
To describe a woman with metastatic carotid body tumor in whom hypotension occurred in the setting of exceedingly high plasma dopamine levels.
METHODS
We present a case report and review the literature on the topic of dopamine-secreting paraganglioma or pheochromocytoma.
RESULTS
A
BACKGROUND
We conducted a phase 1 trial to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), toxicity profile, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and preliminary activity of cabozantinib in children with refractory or relapsed solid tumors.
METHODS
Patients received cabozantinib tablets on a
Patients with advanced rare cancers have poor prognosis and few treatment options. As immunotherapy is effective across multiple cancer types, we aimed to assess pembrolizumab (programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) inhibitor) in patients with advanced rare
