#4606 Neuroendocrine mess – Ectopic Cushing syndrome and severe hypokalaemia

Introduction: Cushing Syndrome (CS) is the condition resulting from hypercortisolaemia. Ectopic Cushing Syndrome (ECS) is responsible for up to 20% of all CS cases. Pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (pNEN) are responsible for 10-20% of those cases.

#3413 Visceral obesity at diagnosis is associated with well-differentiated neuroendocrine neoplasia lower progression free survival

Introduction: The association of well-differentiated gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasia (WD GEP-NEN) with metabolic syndrome (MetS), abdominal obesity, and fasting glucose abnormalities was recently described. Although the role of the intrinsic clinical, pathological, and molecular factors on GEP-NEN prognosis has been extensively studied, the association of adverse outcomes with obesity and metabolic risk factors was not identified so far.
