BACKGROUND
Neuroendocrine tumor originates from the diffuse neuroendocrine system. Intracranial originating is lower to 0.74 %.
METHODS
We present two cases of primary intracranial neuroendocrine tumor A 39-year-old woman was admitted with headache, fever, polydipsia and polyuria. Biochemical and
Catecholamine-secreting metastatic carcinoid should be considered in differential diagnosis of malignant pheochromocytoma. Paroxysmal functioning or hormonally silent gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP NETs) require repeat biochemical measurements and sensitive anatomic and functional
Objectives: A prospective clinical trial evaluated the effect of Ga-DOTATOC positron emission tomography-computerized axial tomography (PET-CT) on change in management of patients with lung, pancreatic, and small bowel neuroendocrine
CONCLUSIONS
Rate of progression-free survival at a particular point in time, i.e., a landmark analysis, is a difficult endpoint for a heterogenous malignancy such as neuroendocrine cancer.Landmark analyses can also be complicated by evolution in the standard of care during the conduct of a clinical
BACKGROUND
68Ga-DOTA0-Tyr3-octreotide (
68Ga-DOTATOC) positron emission tomography-CT (PET-CT) has superior diagnostic performance compared to the licensed tracer OctreoScan single photon emission CT-CT in patients with gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine
BACKGROUND
Pheochromocytoma is a catecholamine-producing tumor characterized by hypertension, headache, tachycardia, excessive diaphoresis and angina. The thunderclap headache is so named because the pain strikes suddenly and severely. Although the symptoms of bladder pheochromocytoma are rather
The incidence of brain metastases for neuroendocrine tumor (NET) is reportedly 1.5~5%, and the origin is usually pulmonary. A 77-year-old man presented to our hospital with headache and disturbance of specific skilled motor activities. Computed tomography (CT) showed a massive neoplastic lesion
Sinonasal neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) are rare, aggressive neoplasms with a high recurrence potential. There are no robust protocols for the management of these tumours. An 81-year-old man presented with an incidental sinonasal mass visualised on CT scan of head. Over the next few weeks he
With increasing treatment options available, neuroendocrine tumor has become a chronic disease and may present later on with atypical manifestation of disease spread once resistant to treatment.A 74-year-old white British woman undergoing treatment for Herein we report a rare case of a pituitary metastasis from a neuroendocrine tumour mimicking an adenoma. Moreover, starting from this unusual case, the relevant literature concerning the diagnosis and management of patients with metastasis at pituitary level is reviewed. A 69-year-old woman was
Neuroendocrine tumor metastases to the pituitary gland are very rare. There are few case reports of carcinoid tumor metastases to the pituitary, but no cases of pancreatic neuroendocrine pituitary metastases have been reported. In this report we present a 55-year-old female with a sellar mass,
BACKGROUND

BACKGROUND
Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are rare but are frequently diagnosed at advanced stages and require systemic therapy.
METHODS
This multicenter, open-label, phase II study evaluated sunitinib in Japanese patients with well-differentiated pancreatic NET. Patients received sunitinib
A mixed gangliocytoma-adenoma occurring in the pituitary fossa of a patient who presented with acromegaly, galactorrhea, and headaches is described. Immunohistochemical studies demonstrated the gangliocytic portion of the tumor to be composed nearly entirely of ganglion cells enmeshed in their
