Introduction: Adrenocortical Carcinoma (ACC) is a rare endocrine neoplasm with poor prognosis, and an estimated incidence of approximately 2.5/1,000,000 patients. The functional state of these tumors varies from non-secretory (20%) to non-secretory. The latter category is subdivided into glucocorticoid-producing (45%) or glucocorticoid-androgen producing (45%) or androgen-producing only (10%). We report a case of a 35-year-old lady who initially presented with symptoms of Cush...

Background: The global incidence of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs) has witnessed a steady rise in the past three decades. Unfortunately, the survival rates remain low primarily due to late-stage diagnoses and a lack of specific and sensitive diagnostic markers. Therefore, there is an urgent need for improved and efficient early diagnostic biomarkers. Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) have gained significant attention in the field of tumor growth and cancer metast...
