Abstract Background In neuroblastoma (NB), urinary catecholamine excretion and 123ImIBG avidity—depending on tumor enzymatic activity and norepinephrine transporter expression, respectively—are diagnostic standards. The prognostic impact of atypical NB, without urinary catecholamine excretion and/or 123ImIBG avidity, remains to be determined. We sought

Differences in Clinical Presentation Between Pheochromocytomas and Paragangliomas
ABSTRACT Objectives Pheochromocytomas and sympathetic paragangliomas (PPGLs) are similar in most aspects. However, they differ in genetic etiology, hormonal secretion, and associated neoplasms. This study aimed to investigate differences in clinical presentation between PPGLs. Design This study employs a retrospective cohort design. Patients The cohort

Untying the Next Genetic Thread in a Family With MEN2A Syndrome: A Case Report
ABSTRACT Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A (MEN2A) is a rare autosomal dominant syndrome characterized by medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), pheochromocytoma, and primary hyperparathyroidism. Early genetic screening is crucial for timely intervention. We report a familial case of MEN2A involving four affected members across two generations.
