#4652 Clinical response to somatostatin analogues in patients with DIPNECH: Findings from a new longitudinal registry

Introduction: Diffuse idiopathic pulmonary neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia (DIPNECH) often presents with symptoms of cough and dyspnoea. DIPNECH remains understudied, and response to somatostatin analogues (SSAs) has been reported in a few small series.

#4651 Neuroendocrine hyperplasia of infancy (NEHI) vs. diffuse idiopathic pulmonary neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia (DIPNECH): What is the difference?

Introduction: Neuroendocrine Hyperplasia of Infancy (NEHI) is a rare disease that belongs to the group of interstitial lung disease in children; characterised by hypoxemia, tachypnoea, and respiratory distress, often misdiagnosed as reactive airway disease or bronchiolitis. The diagnosis relies on histologic evaluation. We describe the clinical presentation and paraclinical characteristics of paediatric patients with NEHI.

#4650 Whole exome sequencing in pulmonary neuroendocrine neoplasms: Findings from a pilot investigation

Introduction: The molecular landscape of lung neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) is still poorly characterised. Lung NETs main prognostic factors currently include stage, histotype, grade, location, and demographic parameters, but molecular biomarkers are still not available, limiting the possibility for personalised therapeutic strategies.

#4648 Analysis of presentation and outcomes of mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinoma (MANEC) – A single centre experience

Introduction: Mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinoma (MANEC) is a rare neoplasm characterised by the coexistence of both adenocarcinoma and neuroendocrine carcinoma components. Due to its rarity, limited data exist regarding its clinical presentation, treatment strategies, and outcomes. This study provides an analysis of MANEC cases from a single centre, providing insights into its clinical features, diagnostic challenges, treatment strategies, and prognosis.

#4647 Crosstalk between cancer-associated fibroblasts and small intestinal neuroendocrine tumour cells in a 3D spheroid model

Introduction: At diagnosis, over 50% of small intestinal neuroendocrine tumours (SI-NETs) have metastasised to the mesentery where they often induce extensive fibrosis. Recent studies highlight the crucial interaction between SI-NET cells and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in the pathogenesis of mesenteric fibrosis (MF).
