Introduction: We present a case of primary aldosteronism (PA) with adrenal mass, where lateralization of aldosterone production by adrenal-vein sampling (AVS) was discordant with cross-sectional imaging. We highlight an approach to investigation of PA using functional nuclear imaging, and show that subclinical cortisol excess may impact the reliability of AVS.Case: 70 year old female with 2.6 cm left-sided adrenal mass, ...

Background & Aims: Neuroendocrine tumours (NET) are a heterogenous group of neoplasms that secrete peptides and neuroamines. For potentially malignant gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) NET, surgical resection represents the only curative option. Ten-year imaging surveillance programs using cross sectional imaging are recommended due to long time-to-recurrence following resection. We performed a retrospective chart review to evaluate radiation exposure associated with surveillan...
