#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.

#4637 Non-functional retroperitoneal paraganglioma in a young patient: A case report

Introduction: Paragangliomas are neuroendocrine tumours arising in the parasympathetic nervous system, outside the adrenal gland. Retroperitoneal location is extremely rare. Non-functional paragangliomas often represent a diagnostic challenge.

#4631 Correlations between dosimetry and imaging in patients with neuroendocrine tumour treated with 177Lu-DOTATATE

Introduction: Tumour dose may be an important predictor of clinical response, but estimation of a clinically relevant tumour-absorbed dose without high risk of toxicity is challenging.

#4612 Intraoperative beta-probe for pathological tissue detection in GEP-NET patients: A prospective phase II trial

Introduction: Accurate localisation of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (GEP-NET) is essential for successful radical surgery. Radio guided surgery (RGS) is an innovative technique that may enhance lesion detection.

#4607 BH3-mimetic drugs elicit cell death of neuroendocrine tumours in preclinical models – An emerging therapeutic strategy for NETs

Introduction: There is an unmet clinical need to identify new, effective therapies for patients with neuroendocrine tumours (NETs). Analysis of single-cell expression data revealed that NETs express high levels of the Bcl2 family of antiapoptotic proteins. Therefore, we hypothesised that proapoptotic drugs, such as BH3-mimetics, can induce programmed cell death, i.e., apoptosis, of neuroendocrine cancer cells.
