#2278 Incidental Histological Diagnosis of Small Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors: Are We Underestimating Their Incidence?

Introduction: The annual incidence of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (PanNET) has been estimated to be around 0.8/100,000 inhabitants.

#2185 Nonfunctional Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor (NF PNET) Imaging and Evaluation Using 18F-FDG and 68Ga- DOTANOC-PET/CT: Initial Data of a Prospective Study

Introduction: Predicting aggressive behavior of NF PNET still remains controversial. It is known that lymph node metastases are rare but possible also on small (1-2 cm) NF-PNET. Positive 18F-FDG-PET/CT avidity is associated with poor prognosis in NETs.

#1866 NET – Incidental Findings: Small, Silent and Innocent?

Introduction: Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) are rare neoplasms, with an overall incidence of 2 cases per 100,000 individuals per year. This number is increasing due to improved diagnosis, classification and higher imaging sensitivity, which lead to discovering of small and clinically insignificant NETs.

#1209 Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Incidentalomas: When is Surgery in the Patient’s Best Interests?

Introduction: Small PNETs, many of which are diagnosed incidentally, pose a management dilemma. Whilst resection offers curative outcomes, the risks of surgery have led many to adopt surveillance strategies. 2cm is often used as a threshold for malignancy, but reports suggest that this value may not be valid.
