#3084 Diffuse Idiopathic Pulmonary Neuroendocrine Cell Hyperplasia (DIPNECH): A Case Report and Review of Literature

Introduction: Majority of euroendocrine tumorsare found in the gastrointestinal tract and bronchopulmonary. Multifocal disease is common among patients with low-grade NET. One example of this is diffuse idiopathic pulmonary neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia. DIPNECH is an extremely rare but indolent disease with predilection for nonsmoking, middle-aged women.

#3074 Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma and DIPNECH: An Unexpected Association

Introduction: Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is a neuroendocrine tumour of the C-cells of thyroid gland. Diffuse idiopathic pulmonary neuroendocrine cells hyperplasia (DIPNECH) is a rare condition, thought to be primarily a neuroendocrine proliferative process which can develop into carcinoid tumours.

#2754 Somatostatin Analogs (SSA) in Patients with Symptomatic Diffuse Idiopathic Pulmonary Neuroendocrine Cell Hyperplasia (DIPNECH)

Introduction: DIPNECH is characterized by a proliferation of pulmonary neuroendocrine cells and multifocal neuroendocrine tumorlets and/or tumors. Although usually indolent, DIPNECH can cause chronic cough and dyspnea. There is very limited information on treatment.

#2246 Diffuse Idiopathic Pulmonary Neuroendocrine Cell Hyperplasia (DIPNECH): Characterisation of Prevalence and Prognosis in the Pulmonary Carcinoid Population

Introduction: DIPNECH is considered a rare condition and the natural history is poorly described. It is thought to give rise to pulmonary carcinoids (PCs) (>5mm) or tumourlets (≤5mm).

#2002 Pulmonary Function Test Physiology and Progression in Diffuse Idiopathic Pulmonary Neuroendocrine Cell Hyperplasia

Introduction: Diffuse idiopathic pulmonary neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia (DIPNECH) is a rare condition characterised by a generalised proliferation of pulmonary neuroendocrine cells within the respiratory epithelium. Little is known of its affects on pulmonary function both at the time of diagnosis and prospectively.
