#3753 The additive value of F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose PET imaging in grade 1 gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs)

Introduction: Grade 1 gastroenteropancreatic NETs (GEP-NETs) exhibit better prognosis compared to Grade 2-3 tumors. High uptake in 68Ga-DOTATOC PET imaging is commonly seen in well-differentiated tumors whereas uptake in F-18 FDG PET imaging is associated with aggressive behaviour.

#3567 Metastatic mixed VIPoma/PPoma-induced diarrhoea causing renal failure

Introduction: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) are rare, but despite better prognosis than other pancreatic tumors, their presentation is often occult. VIPomas are a further subtype secreting vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP). Associated symptoms are particularly non-specific, with watery diarrhoea and electrolyte disturbance which mimics less sinister pathology. Consequently, this presentation is often overlooked resulting in tumor progression and delayed diagnosis, hindering effective management.

#2114 Significance of Biochemical Testing in Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors

Introduction: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) are rare tumors that are frequently diagnosed late in the course of the disease. Several biomarkers have been proposed in the literature for diagnosis in patients with these tumors.

#2067 Recognition of Primary Neuroendocrine Tumors - A Challenge

Introduction: Neuro endocrine tumors of liver are rare.Most of the neuroendocrine tumors of the liver arise from gastrointestinal tract, especially from appendix.ileum and pancreas.Primary hepatic neuro endocrine tumors is a rare clinical entity, requiring strict exclusion of possible extra-hepatic primary sites for its diagnosis.Most challenging in diagnosis is diversity in presentation of primary symptoms.

#369 Carcinoid Tumor of Common Bile Duct (CBD) Misdiagnosed as Cholangiocarcinoma

Introduction: Carcinoid tumors of the bile duct are extremely rare. Unlike cholangiocarcinoma, they grow more slowly and generally occur in younger patients and in females. They have better prognosis and greater disease free survival.
