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
We describe the case of a 61-year-old man from the Dominican Republic admitted with diarrhoea, fevers and weight loss who was found to have lab studies and imaging (including radiolabeled somatostatin positron emission tomography/CT scan) initially consistent with a metastatic neuroendocrine tumour.
Carboplatin is characterized by low nephrotoxicity, including acute tubular necrosis (ATN), compared to a conventional platinum complex due to its low accumulative property in the renal tubules. Therefore, there are extremely few reports of carboplatin-induced kidney injury and only one case has
Thymic neuroendocrine tumor (TNET) is very rare and characterized by a tendency to invade adjacent structures, frequent metastasis, resistance to therapy, and a poor prognosis. Viscum album extracts (VAE) have shown immunological, apoptogenic, and cytotoxic We report a rare case of neuroendocrine tumor (NET) in the common bile duct (CBD). The patient is a 56-year-old female who presented to our department with symptoms of fever but without jaundice. A preoperative examination showed a tumor in the CBD. The tumor volume was almost 5.5 × 4.5 × 4 cm3,
Objective: To evaluate the tumor burden reducing efficacy and safety of transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) combined with octreotide LAR on neuroendocrine tumor liver metastasis (NETLM). Methods: Twenty-nine NETLM patients treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen
Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are generally indolent and progress slowly. However, NENs of major duodenal papilla are uncommon. We retrospectively assessed relevant clinicopathological findings in 9 consecutive patients treated for major duodenal papilla NENs by pancreaticoduodenectomy in our
BACKGROUND
Using a wide range of interferon (IFN) doses and schedules, a number of authors have found them to be active against neuroendocrine tumors.
METHODS
To verify the clinical activity of IFN, 49 evaluable patients with advanced stage low- and intermediate-grade neuroendocrine tumors were
BACKGROUND
Campylobacteriosis caused by Gram-negative bacteria of the genus Campylobacter (mainly C. jejuni and C. coli) is one of the most common gastrointestinal zoonotic infections with increased incidence in humans worldwide. The typical symptoms are severe abdominal cramps, diarrhea and
A patient in her 60s was referred to our hospital with pancreatic enlargement. Laboratory data and endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) revealed a nonfunctioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (WHO classification 2010 G2). Resection was contraindicated because of portal
An elderly man presented to the ED from a nursing care facility after transient loss of consciousness. Three weeks previously, the patient had been diagnosed with a high-grade pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (NET) with metastases to the liver after being hospitalized for weakness. A chest radiograph
We describe a 43 year old female who presented with pyrexia of unknown origin associated with Coomb's negative hemolytic anemia and impaired liver function tests of six months duration. A routine abdominal computerised tomographic scan showed a mass in the left adrenal which was excised at
METHODS
A 56-year-old woman presented with pronounced petechia. She complained about recurrent fever and night sweat for two weeks, having felt unwell during the past years.
METHODS
Laboratory examinations showed thrombocytopenia, leukopenia and considerably elevated liver enzymes. Antinuclear
BACKGROUND
Pheochromocytomas are rare catecholamine-producing neuroendocrine tumors. They are surgically curable but can be lethal if remain undiagnosed. We report a patient earlier diagnosed with malignant hyperthermia but later found to have pheochromocytoma on autopsy.
METHODS
After a
OBJECTIVE
We conducted a two-phase trial in which 100-micron polylactic acid microcapsules with a cisplatin payload (manufactured at our institution [the M. D. Anderson Cancer Center]) were used for hepatic artery occlusion therapy for symptomatic patients who had liver metastases from
