#1747 Clinical Characterization of Patients with Neuroendocrine Neoplasm of the Appendix in Ireland and in Italy: A Retrospective Study from Two Tertiary Institutions

Introduction: Appendiceal neuroendocrine neoplasms (aNEN) are rare tumors often diagnosed incidentally at appendectomy. Though most aNEN patients have a positive outcome, distant metastases may rarely occur and the identification of the patients at higher risk is required

#1288 Vitamin D Deficiency as a Risk Factor in Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms: Report from a Series at a Single Institute

Introduction: Vitamin D deficiency (VitDdef) is hypothesized to represent a risk factor in several neoplasms. To date, vitamin D levels have not been previously evaluated in patients with pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (pNENs).

#1285 Gastrointestinal Neuroendocrine Tumors of Unknown Primary Site: Report from a Series at a Single Institute

Introduction: Neuroendocrine neoplasms of unknown primary (NENs-UP) account for 10-13% of all NENs and show different biologic behavior, histologic appearance and clinical outcome.

#1283 Heterotopic Pancreas Mimicking a Gastrointestinal Neuroendocrine Tumor: A Case Report

Introduction: Heterotopic pancreas, defined as an atypical presence of pancreatic tissue with no anatomic or vascular continuity with the pancreas, is relatively rare. In most cases it is diagnosed during autopsy or incidentally, since it becomes symptomatic only in few cases, causing bleeding, pain or obstruction.
