Characterisation of patients diagnosed with metastatic head and neck paraganglioma treated at an oncology referral institution in Colombia
Introduction:
Head and neck paragangliomas (HNPGL) are rare tumours. Multiple risk factors associated with the risk of metastasis have been described, although much of the available information corresponds to the group of Pheochromocytoma and Paragangliomas, not necessarily extrapolatable to metastatic HNPGLs.

Ectopic Cushing's syndrome caused by a well differentiated ACTH-secreting neuroendocrine tumor of the ileum
Introduction:
Ectopic Cushing syndrome is responsible for 20% of cases of Cushing’s syndrome (CS); with presentation ranging from undetectable lesions to metastatic carcinomas. Ectopic ACTH syndrome (EAS) of intestinal origin is very rare, only five patients have been reported. In this article, we report a case of an ileal ACTH-secreting Neuroendocrine tumor.
