Pediatric pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas are rare with limited data on the optimal management approach. The aim of this study was to determine the role of genetic testing and imaging to detect extra-adrenal and/or metastatic tumors in pediatric pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas.We performed a retrospective study of 55 patients diagnosed at ≤21 years of age with pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas...
Permanent recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy and hypoparathyroidism are 2 major complications after thyroid operation. Assuming that the rate of immediate complications can predict the permanent complication rate, some authors consider these complications as a valid metric for assessing the performance of individual surgeons. This study aimed to determine the correlation between rates of immediate and...
We compared operative and metabolic outcomes in patients with subclinical Cushing syndrome and Cushing syndrome caused by unilateral adrenal lesion, aiming to clarify the role of glucocorticoid replacement treatment in patients with subclinical Cushing syndrome after adrenalectomy.The medical records of all the patients who underwent unilateral adrenalectomy for subclinical Cushing syndrome or Cushing...
Adrenocortical carcinoma is a rare neoplasm with a poor prognosis. Conversely, adrenocortical adenomas are common and benign. Despite their shared histologic origin, little evidence exists to suggest that adrenocortical adenoma arises from adrenocortical carcinoma. Recent genetic analyses of adrenocortical carcinoma have shown recurrent gene copy deletion of CYP4B1, a cytochrome P450 isozyme. This...
Currently, anaplastic thyroid carcinoma has a very poor prognosis and there is an unmet need for new therapeutic options. Therefore, this study aims to identify upregulated genes in anaplastic thyroid carcinoma with known drug interactions that could serve as new therapeutic targets.Publicly available microarray expression profiles of anaplastic thyroid carcinoma and normal thyroid tissue were collected...
Little is known about the long-term recurrence risk for primary hyperparathyroidism after immediately “curative” parathyroidectomy. This study aimed to evaluate the risk of recurrent hyperparathyroidism in the 10 years after operation.We retrospectively identified patients with sporadic primary hyperparathyroidism undergoing initial parathyroidectomy between November 1, 2000 and June 30, 2005. Recurrence...
Patients with gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors often present with metastases. Identification of the primary tumor is important for operative management, and therefore we sought to determine our success at identifying primary tumors with diagnostic testing and operative exploration.A clinical neuroendocrine tumor database was reviewed to identify patients presenting with metastases and...
