Purpose: Adrenal vascular tumors are mainly represented by adrenal cavernous hemangiomas (ACHs) and adrenal cystic lymphangiomas (ACLs). Their radiological features often overlap with malignant tumors, therefore ruling out malignancy becomes mandatory. We analyzed clinical, radiological, and histopathological data to identify specific characteristics of these tumors.

We present the case of a 48-year-old woman with intermittent left flank pain and an incidental finding of an adrenal tumor on computed tomography. The patient underwent laparoscopic tumor resection due to the large size of the tumor.

Introduction: Nonfunctioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NF-PNETs) have been diagnosed increasingly often but still represent rare pancreatic neoplasms. Surgery is a potentially curative approach for patients with NF-PNETs. In recent years, minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has been applied more frequently for surgical resection of NF-PNETs.

Non-functioning pituitary adenomas (NFPAs) are hormonally inactive benign tumors, usually diagnosed as macro-adenoma. The aim of our research was to analyze the clinical and hormonal characteristics of NFPAs using Knosp and revised Knosp classifications. Furthermore, we aimed to assess the possibility of predicting surgical remission after surgery.

Purpose Of Review: The purpose of this review is to outline the current knowledge on epidemiology, diagnosis and management of neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) that develop in the context of Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) syndrome.
Recent Findings: Pancreatic NENs develop in 8-17% of VHL patients (vPNENs) and are mostly multi-focal, cystic and non-functioning. Surgical resection is recommended for vPNENS > 3 cm that exhibit higher metastatic potential or in tumors with short doubling time while in the 20% of cases with metastatic disease the HIF-2 A inhibitor belzutifan is considered a promising option.
