Neuroendocrine tumors are slow-growing neoplasms, histologically based on enteroendocrine cells. They are tumors with different degrees of differentiation, uncertain bio­logical nature and metastatic ability. Their most common localization is the gastrointestinal tract, with a special group of the neuroendocrine tumors of appendix, which are incidentally found after appendectomy. In case report, we would like to present a case of a patient with neuroendocrine tumors of appendix dia­gnosed by colonoscopy.

Abstract Neuroendocrine tumors in the mediastinum are relatively rare. We report a patient with mediastinal neuroendocrine tumor that was successfully resected after descending stage by drug-eluting embolic transcatheter arterial chemoembolization had been performed. No tumor recurrence was found in the 1-year follow-up after surgical resection.

Introduction Lipomas of the gastrointestinal tract are rare, slow-growing lesions that comprise 0.4% of all gastrointestinal neoplasms. They can cause dysphagia, dyspnoea or sudden choking. Case History Due to rarity of this condition and its uncommon presentation, a literature review was carried out (PubMed). This search revealed 290 articles, of which 74 were considered pertinent and were evaluated. We report a case of a 13cm pedunculated oesophageal lipoma that presented with increasing dysphagia and two episodes of suffocation. The patient underwent curative resection through a cervical approach. Conclusions Resection is recommended for large (>5 cm) or symptomatic polyps. Outcomes are excellent given that lesions are universally benign and oesophageal resection is not required.

Introduction. Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors comprise a heterogeneous group of neoplasms that originate from the cells of the diffuse endocrine system within the gastrointestinal tract and pancreas. The diagnostic procedures and therapy of patients with gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors is complex and requires a multidisciplinary approach. Case Report. A 51-year-old patient visited a Gastroenterology Outpatient Clinic for examination complaining of redness, facial swelling and frequent watery diarrhea since the age of 48 years. The clinical examination revealed subicterus, systolic murmur, and hepatomegaly. The patient received an extensive examination that included specific laboratory tests and various imaging techniques (endoscopy, radiology, cardiology, nuclear imaging) at the regional medical center. He was referred to a tertiary medical center, including the national Center for the Treatment of Neuroendocrine Tumors, and a metastatic neuroendocrine tumor, most likely affecting the ileum, was established. After preoperative cardiac and anesthesiological assessments, an elective surgical procedure was performed, with a pathohistological/immunohistochemical confirmation of a grade 1 neuroendocrine tumor of the ileum. Conclusion. The process of diagnosing gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, after the onset of symptoms, is often long, associated with comorbidities, and requires a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis, treatment and monitoring.

Peripheral Location

Pulmonary neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are rare tumors with an incidence rate of 0.2–2/100 000 population/year in Western countries (M. E. Caplin et al. Ann Oncol 2015; 26:1604–20). They account for 1–2% of all neoplasms of the lung and constitute one-fourth to one-third of all NETs. Atypical carcinoids are far less common than typical carcinoids and predominantly occur in male smokers aged 50 –70 years. Most pulmonary NETs are asymptomatic due to their peripheral location. Surgical resection is the treatment of choice. Medical management should take hormone-related symptoms into account.

We report the case of a 38-year-old patient who was diagnosed with a cerebellar well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumor (WDNET) in 2009. At first glance, we believed that it was a metastasis from an unrecognized WDNET arising outside the cerebellum. However, despite a prolonged follow-up of 6 years, an extracranial WDNET has never been found. During this time, the tumor recurred locally twice, and the patient was treated with surgery and radiotherapy. At the moment, he enjoys good general conditions and his tumor is under control. Due to the histopathological characteristics and clinical behavior of the tumor, we believe that this is the first report to date of a primary cerebellar WDNET.

Cowden Syndrome is a rare autosomal dominantly inherited disorder. Patients with Cowden Syndrome are at increased risk of various benign and malignant neoplasms in breast, endometrium, thyroid, gastrointestinal tract, and genitourinary system. Neuroendocrine tumors are ubiquitous neoplasms that may occur anywhere in the human body. Bronchopulmonary neuroendocrine tumors include four different histological subtypes, among these, typical and atypical pulmonary carcinoids. No association between Cowden Syndrome and neuroendocrine tumors has previously been described. We present two cases of Cowden Syndrome that were diagnosed with pulmonary carcinoids.

AbstractNeuroendocrine tumors (NETs) of the ureter are rare, with less than 40 cases described in the literature. A majority of tumors described are poorly differentiated tumors with a poor prognosis. We present the case of a moderately differentiated atypical carcinoid NET of the ureter with a good postoperative outcome. A literature review was also performed to identify similar cases to compare their management and postoperative outcomes.
