Article Synopsis
- This study focused on bronchopulmonary neuroendocrine tumors (bNET) in patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) to understand their prevalence, precursor lesions, and prognosis.
- Five out of 75 MEN1 patients (6.6%) were found to have bNET after a median follow-up of 134 months, with all cases being asymptomatic and predominantly well differentiated.
- The findings suggest that bNET in MEN1 are more common than thought, often have a benign course, and may be preceded by multifocal neuroendocrine changes and tumorlets.
Objectives: To present data from all patients with adrenal involvement after prolonged follow-up and to revise our advice given in 1999. In 1999, we published our results for a large series of patients with adrenal metastasis from renal cell carcinoma.
Methods: The charts of 617 patients who had undergone radical nephrectomy with simultaneous adrenalectomy for renal cell carcinoma at the Department of Urology, Philipps-University Medical School, Marburg from 1985 to 1999 were retrospectively reviewed.
Objective: Clinical evaluation of computed tomography (CT) fluoroscopy and comparison with conventional CT guidance for monitoring of percutaneous pulmonary biopsy procedures.
Methods: Twenty CT-guided pulmonary biopsy procedures were conducted. The interventions have prospectively been performed either with CT fluoroscopy or with conventional CT guidance.
