#2972 Characteristics and Management of Paragangliomas, 10 Years Experience

Introduction: Paraganglioma (PG) is a rare extra-adrenal neuroendocrine tumor, with common sites of presentation being abdomen, and head and neck region. The majority of PGs appear to be sporadic. However, almost half of cases are associated with an inherited syndrome. The highest malignancy rates are seen in paragangliomas (PGs) associated with SDHB mutations, which are usually abdominal and secretory.

#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.

#946 Immunohistochemical Staining of Catecholamine-Synthesizing Enzymes in Head and Neck Paraganglioma Tissue

Introduction: Head and neck paragangliomas (HNPGLs) are non-producing neuroendocrine tumors, alhough 19-28% of patients have an increased dopamine production. The high sensitivity of 18F-DOPA PET also shows that these tumors might be able to synthesize catecholamines.

#628 Sequential Chemo-Radiation Therapy for Locally Advanced Neuroendocrine Carcinoma of Head and Neck

Introduction: Neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs) of the head and neck are considered an infrequent clinico-pathological entity. Combined modality treatment represents an established therapeutic option for poorly differentiated forms where distant metastasis is a common pattern of failure.
