#4240 Plasma extracellular vesicles number and size distinguish patients with neuroendocrine neoplasms

Introduction: Neuroendocrine Neoplasms (NENs) are heterogeneous neoplasms, whose metastatic potential is challenging to predict. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been described as mediators of communication between the tumor cells and their microenvironment, driving the formation of metastatic niches.

#1930 Concomitant Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasms and Neuroendocrine Tumors of the Pancreas: More than just a Coincidence?

Introduction: Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) are rare tumors. Up to now 14 patients with association of endocrine and exocrine neoplasms of the pancreas have been reported in literature: this association is not expected to be frequent

#1427 Uncinatectomy: Rethinking the Surgical Approach for Neuroendocrine and Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasms of the Pancreas

Introduction: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) are increasingly recognized pancreatic tumors due to advances in imaging. Standard of care is surgical resection for these tumors is via the appropriate procedure: pancreaticoduodenectomy or enucleation.

#1042 The Challenge of Differential Diagnosis of Solid Pancreatic Lesions in Von Hippel-Lindau. Case Report

Introduction: Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) is an hereditary syndrome, characterized by a predisposition to develop benign and malignant tumors. Pancreatic involvement is present in 35-70% of cases and include cystic (simple cyst, serous cystoadenoma, mucinous tumor or IPMN) and solid lesions (neuroendocrine neoplasm (NEN), metastatic mass or pancreatic adenocarcinoma). Finally, a solid-type serous cystoadenoma (SSCA) has been reported. Differential diagnosis of these lesions may be difficult.
