#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.

#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).

#569 Lack of Accuracy of Circulating Chromogranin A in the Preoperative Diagnosis of Lung Neuroendocrine Tumors

Introduction: While the role of the circulating neuroendocrine (NE) marker Chromogranin A (CgA) in the clinical management of GEP NET has been extensively discussed, the same role in thoracic NE tumors (TNET) remains to be better clarified.
