#3241 Clinical features and management of paragangliomas in a tertiary university hospital

Introduction: Paragangliomas (PG) are rare neuroendocrine tumors that arise from the extra-adrenal paraganglia. The most frequent location is head and neck PG (HNPG), usually non-functioning tumors. PG present a high rate of genetic susceptibility mainly associated with SDHx mutation. Clinical presentation depends upon catecholamine secretion and tumor location. Surgery remains the standard treatment, although radiotherapy and systemic therapies can be considered for unresectable or metastatic disease.

#1380 Assessment of the Growth Rate of Paragangliomas Related to SDHx Gene Mutations Using Computed Tomography.

Introduction: SDHx mutations are associated with a lifelong risk of multifocal paragangliomas (PGL), so patients need regular follow-up examinations.

#838 Succinate Dehydrogenase Subunit B (SDHB) Immunohistochemistry Should Not Replace Clinical Genetic Testing for SDHx Mutations in Patients with Pheochromocytoma and Paraganglioma

Introduction: Mutations in any of the subunits of the succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) complex predispose to PCC/PGL. Knowing the germline mutation is important for surveillance for recurrence, metastatic disease or more primary tumors and for screening affected family members. Expression of SDHB protein by immunohistochemistry (IHC) has been proposed as a surrogate marker for SDHx mutation status, with absent or decreased expression of SDHB suggesting the presence of a germline SDHB mutation or disruption of the SDH complex by mutation in another subunit.
