#4651 Neuroendocrine hyperplasia of infancy (NEHI) vs. diffuse idiopathic pulmonary neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia (DIPNECH): What is the difference?

Introduction: Neuroendocrine Hyperplasia of Infancy (NEHI) is a rare disease that belongs to the group of interstitial lung disease in children; characterised by hypoxemia, tachypnoea, and respiratory distress, often misdiagnosed as reactive airway disease or bronchiolitis. The diagnosis relies on histologic evaluation. We describe the clinical presentation and paraclinical characteristics of paediatric patients with NEHI.

#4594 RNA splicing as a key regulatory player with translational potential in pulmonary neuroendocrine neoplasms (lungNETs)

Introduction: Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) are a diverse group of neoplasms arising from neuroendocrine cells. Within this group, lung neuroendocrine tumours (LungNETs) represent one of the most frequent subtypes of NETs. LungNETs are classified by grade, according to their proliferative index and aggressiveness. Among them, typical carcinoids (G1) and atypical carcinoids (G2) are the lowest grade subtypes. While these tumours are less aggressive, they remain underexplored compared to higher-grade subtypes, highlighting the need for molecular studies to improve clinical approaches. In this context, previous studies have shown that abnormalities in the splicing machinery are frequent in tumour pathologies and also occur in LungNETs.

#4568 Investigating the dual role of SNW1 in splicing and transcription to understand pancreatic neuroendocrine tumour progression

Introduction: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (PanNETs) are classified into grades (G1-G3) based on mitotic rate, with higher grades exhibiting increased dedifferentiation and invasiveness. Despite the clinical significance of PanNETs progression, the underlying mechanisms remain largely unexplored. We have previously reported that altered alternative splicing plays an essential role in PanNETs progression, where SNW1, a key regulator of splicing and transcription, was found to be overexpressed in tumour tissue, correlating with higher grade and recurrence risk.

#4311 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.
