#931 A Case of Adrenal Pheochromocytoma Rupture Treated with Transarterial Embolization (TAE)

Introduction: Spontaneous hemorrhage within a pheochromocytoma resulting in capsular rupture and hemorrhage is a rare condition, but also catastrophic and highly lethal event. An emergent operation for pehochromocytoma rupture is higher mortality than elective operation, and misdiagnosis and failure to control the hemorrhage lead directly to 100% mortality.

#930 Distinct Expression of Splicing Variants of the Human MEN1 (Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1) Gene in Various Pituitary Adenomas

Introduction: MEN1 is an autosomal-dominant tumor syndrome characterized by the occurrence of tumors in multiple endocrine tissues, including parathyroid, enteropancreatic neuroendocrine and anterior pituitary. The MEN1 gene consists of 10 exons transcribed into a 610 a.a. protein. It was reported that heterogeneity of human MEN1 gene transcripts related to variation in their 5’ UTR. Six distinct exsons1 (e1A-e1F) were isolated using RNA from thymus, pancreas and kidney.
