Gastric variceal bleeding as a form of presentation of a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor.

NETs (neuroendocrine tumors) constitute a heterogeneous group of epithelial-type neoplasms with a predominantly neuroendocrine differentiation.

Inflammatory bowel disease new-onset during secukinumab therapy: real-world data from a tertiary center.
