The CNC is a dominantly syndrome, characterized by spotty skin pigmentation, endocrine overactivity and myxomas (Carney & Young 1992), associated with lentigines and blue naevi; the disease links to 17q22-24, and its mutations have been identified in the genes PRKAR1α. The most common endocrine manifestations affect two o more endocrine glands, including acromegaly, thyroid and testicular tumours and ACTH-independent Cushing’s syndrome due to primary pigmented no...

Introduction: The multidisciplinary approach of the patients with GEP-NETs is very important, having a fundamental role the participation of the endocrinologist.Methods: Description of cases of GEP-NETs followed in the Service of Endocrinology of the SCCH from 1990 to 2016.Results: 95 patients were included, 53.7% were males, age 61.2 years (IR: 50.5–73.5). The diagnosis was incidental in 53.8%. 27.6% presented clinical secret...

Introduction: Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) constitute a very heterogeneous group of rare neoplasms, although their incidence has increased in recent years. We describe its evolution and survival.Methods: Retrospective study. All patients with histopathological diagnosis of GEP-NETs performed at the HCSC between 2000 and 2016 were selected, data from the medical history were included. Statistical analysis were done with SPSS.Results...

Introduction: Type 1 Gastric neuroendocrine tumors account for 70 to 80 percent of all gastric neuroendocrine tumors (G-NETs) and they are found more commonly in older adults, particularly women. They are associated with autoimmune metaplastic atrophic gastritis (AMAG) with or without pernicious anemia. Endoscopically, they are usually smaller than 1 cm and often multiple. These tumors usually present a non-aggressive evolution. Our goal is to approach the presence of risk fac...

They are associated with autoimmune metaplastic atrophic gastritis (AMAG) with or without pernicious anemia. They are usually smaller than 1 cm and often multiple. Our goal is to describe different characteristics of type 1 G-NETs and to study possible prognostic factors related to th...
