Purpose: Aldosteronoma Resolution Score (ARS) is a predictive score for cure of hypertension after adrenalectomy for hyperaldosteronism and has been validated in American patients. The aim of the study was to validate this score in a French population.
Method: Data concerning patients operated from 2002 to 2015 in 7 French University Hospitals were retrospectively collected.
Background: Adrenocortical carcinoma is a rare neoplasm with a high rate of recurrence. We studied the impact of surgery on the survival in recurrent adrenocortical carcinoma patients.
Methods: We performed a retrospective review of patients with recurrent adrenocortical carcinoma, managed in 5 French University Hospitals between 1980 and 2014.
Article Synopsis
- Nonfunctioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NF-PNETs) ≤ 2 cm often lack a clear management guideline, and this study aimed to evaluate the prognostic factors for these tumors in patients.
- The study reviewed 80 patients from 7 French hospitals, with findings indicating that tumor size significantly affects the likelihood of malignancy and overall patient outcomes.
- Results suggested that a tumor size cutoff for assessing malignancy could be lowered from 2 cm to 1.7 cm, improving the accuracy of patient selection for treatment.
Purpose: The pathological diagnosis of malignancy in pheochromocytomas remains a controversial issue. According to the WHO, malignancy is defined in the presence of metastasis. Multiparameter scoring systems such as PASS (Pheochromocytoma of Adrenal gland Scaled Score) have been used but remain controversial.

The embryological origin of these abnormal parathyroid glands is controversial. The purpose of this investigation was to investigate the embryological origin and the surgical management of abnormal parathyroid glands situated in the APW.
