CONTEXT Insulinoma is the most common functioning endocrine tumor of the pancreas responsible for fasting hypoglycemia resulting from autonomous insulin hypersecretion. Most insulinomas are small and difficult to localize with conventional imaging. We successfully localized a small insulinoma in our patient using diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging before surgery. CASE REPORT We rep...

Although the causes of hypertension are usually unknown, about 10% of the cases occur secondary to specific etiologies, which are often treatable. Common categories of secondary hypertension include renal parenchymal disease, renovascular stenosis, vascular and endocrinologic disorders. For diseases involving the renal parenchyma and adrenal glands, ultrasonography (US), computed tomography (CT...

Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are rare group of neoplasms arising from nervous and endocrine systems. Somatostatin analogue imaging is a functional imaging modality of choice for evaluating the NETs. Recent availability of positron emitting radioisotope labeled somatostatin analogues to image neuroendocrine cancers, has raised the interests to use this new imaging modality in management of patie...

Pancreatic endocrine tumours (PET) are rare but nonetheless important to recognize and treat in a timely fashion. Significant morbidity occurs due to excess secretion of hormones, with all of the PET having some degree of malignant potential. Surgeons must plan directed operative strategies to deal with these tumours and be prepared to undertake aggressive palliative debulking resections if ind...

Medical management of patients with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome has considerably evolved since initial reports in 1955 and especially over the last decade. Control of gastric hypersecretion by effective antisecretory drugs, accurate localization and staging of the tumoral process by modern medical imaging techniques as well as progress in surgical skill undoubtedly account for higher rates of ga...

UNLABELLED In vitro assessment of hormone receptor status using a ligand-binding assay or immunohistochemistry in breast cancer patients predicts endocrine responsiveness with an accuracy of only 60%-70%. Assessment of an end product of estrogen receptor stimulation, such as the progesterone receptor, is assumed to provide a measure of functional receptor content and has proven to increase pred...

Context Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) is a modern precision technique for the treatment of pituitary adenoma. Objective Aim to investigate efficacy and toxicity IMRT in treating Cushing’s Disease (CD). Methods 70 115 patients with CD treated at our institute from April 2012 August 2021 were included study. The radiation doses usually 45-50 Gy 25 fractions. After IMRT, endocrine evalua...
