Although small hypervascular tumors are suspected to be pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (p-NENs), their diagnosis and treatment are challenging. This study evaluated the usefulness of endoscopic ultrasound-guided tissue acquisition (EUS-TA) for diagnosis of small p-NENs. All p-NEN lesions that underwent EUS-TA at our hospital between April 2018 and December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.

Castleman disease (CD) is a nonclonal lymphoproliferative disorder that causes non-neoplastic lymph node enlargement. With an incidence of approximately 21-25 cases per million, CD presents variably, often mimicking both benign and malignant conditions across various body regions. Clinically, it ranges from asymptomatic lymph node enlargement in Unicentric Castleman's Disease (UCD) to aggressive, multicentric presentations affecting multiple organs.

Background: Non-hypervascular hypointense nodules (NHHNs) can transform into hypervascular hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) during the long-term follow-up. However, the risk factors for NHHN hypervascular transformation in chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV)-infected populations are unknown. This study assessed the predictive value of gadoxetic acid-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for HCC development in patients with chronic HBV infection.

Article Synopsis
  • A 41-year-old man suspected of having insulinoma underwent various imaging tests, revealing a hypovascular tumor in the pancreas, which was ultimately diagnosed as a Grade 1 PanNET following surgery and pathology.
  • The tumor's low microvessel density (MVD) of 3.9% contributed to inconclusive imaging results, highlighting the need for thorough preoperative evaluations in cases of hypovascular PanNETs to ensure accurate diagnosis and treatment.
