Esthesioneuroblastoma is a rare neoplasm arising from the neural crest cells of olfactory epithelium mostly in the nasal vault. We describe the Ga DOTANOC PET/CT findings of a 44-year-old woman who was operated for right nasal mass diagnosed as paraganglioma in the past and then develop a mass in the right nasal cavity after 2 years which upon surgery diagnosed to be esthesioneuroblastoma on histopathology.

Tumour-induced osteomalacia (TIO) is an uncommon, debilitating disorder often characterised by non-specific clinical manifestations, posing a significant diagnostic challenge. The tumours causing TIO can be minuscule and occur in unusual areas, further complicating diagnosis. This report details the case of a woman in her early 30s presenting with chronic pain who subsequently developed fragility fractures.

Lu-DOTATATE has emerged as a viable treatment strategy for advanced well-differentiated grade 1/2 gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs). Few retrospective studies have shown concomitant Lu-DOTATATE with radiosensitizing low-dose capecitabine to be effective in advanced NETs. However, this has not been validated in prospective randomized-controlled trials.

Introduction: Congenital Hyperinsulinism (CHI) has not been previously studied in Ukraine. We therefore aimed to elucidate the genetics, clinical phenotype, histological subtype, treatment and long-term outcomes of Ukrainian patients with CHI.
Methods: Forty-one patients with CHI were recruited to the Ukrainian national registry between the years 2014-2023.

Purpose To evaluate the diagnostic performance of gallium 68 (Ga)-DOTA-NaI3-octreotide (Ga-DOTANOC) and fluorine 18 (F)-fluoro-l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (F-FDOPA) PET/CT in detecting recurrent or metastatic paragangliomas. Materials and Methods This single-center retrospective study included patients with paragangliomas who underwent both Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT and F-FDOPA PET/CT between August 2021 and December 2023. The diagnostic performance of these two tracers in detecting recurrent or metastatic tumors was compared using several metrics, including sensitivity, negative predictive value, and accuracy.
