#4639 Prevalence and characteristics of incidental NET of the Meckel’s diverticula: Retrospective cohort study at a tertiary centre

Introduction: Meckel’s diverticulum is a rare finding in adults but can harbour malignancies such as leiomyosarcoma or neuroendocrine tumours (NET). The clinical presentation and tumour characteristics, including grading, have shown high variability in recent studies for NET.

#4618 The exceptionally rare phenomenon of well-differentiated colon neuroendocrine tumours

Introduction: Colonic neuroendocrine tumours (NETs), excluding rectal NETs, are often described as relatively common and aggressive, with inferior median survival compared to other gastrointestinal (GI) primary sites. However, epidemiological databases may conflate well-differentiated NETs with poorly differentiated NECs, leading to unclear data on prevalence, clinical behaviour, and prognosis of well-differentiated colonic NETs.

#4470 Demystifying DIPNECH: Updates from a new longitudinal patient registry

Introduction: Diffuse idiopathic pulmonary neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia (DIPNECH) was first characterised in 1992 with a case series describing 6 patients with neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia, with cough and dyspnoea. Since that time, DIPNECH has remained understudied.

#4454 Impact of pathological review of neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) within the French national ENDOCAN/TENpath network

Introduction: NENs are rare tumours which can benefit from specialised pathological assessment. In France, the ENDOCAN/TENpath network, composed of 33 expert pathologists in 20 centres, provides consultations (2nd readings) at the request of non-specialist pathologists. Challenging cases are reviewed in monthly virtual meetings grouping all expert pathologists (third readings).
