Comparative Analysis of Clinical, Hormonal and Morphological Studies in Patients with Neuroendocrine ACTH-Producing Tumours
This paper highlights the problem of neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) with clinical symptoms of hypercorticism caused by hypersecretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) by tumour cells. In most cases (85%), the tumours were localized in the pituitary gland (Cushing's disease); 15% of the patients had an extrapituitary tumour that manifest as an ectopic ACTH secretion (EAS). Comparative analys...

Neuroendocrine tumours (NET) are a various and interesting group of neoplasms considering their common origin, localisation in different organs and ability to secrete hormones, bioactive amines and peptides. This tumours originate from neurosecretive cells (enterochromaffinocytes) termed Kulchitsky cells, that underwent neoplastic transformation. Cells that, during embryogenesis, evolve from ne...
متن کاملElastofibroma dorsi – differential diagnosis in chest wall tumours
BACKGROUND Elastofibromas are benign soft tissue tumours mostly of the infrascapular region between the thoracic wall, the serratus anterior and the latissimus dorsi muscle with a prevalence of up to 24% in the elderly. The pathogenesis of the lesion is still unclear, but repetitive microtrauma by friction between the scapula and the thoracic wall may cause the reactive hyperproliferation of fi...
متن کاملMalignant primary chest-wall tumours: techniques of reconstruction and survival.
OBJECTIVES We analysed our experience in primary malignant chest-wall tumours (PMCWTs) with an emphasis on a new reconstruction technique and on survival. METHODS From 1998 to 2008, 41 patients (23 (56%) male, mean age 48 years) with PMCWT were operated in our unit: chondrosarcoma n=25; osteosarcoma n=8; Ewing's sarcoma n=2; other n=6. We performed nine sternectomies and 32 lateral chest-wall...
متن کاملNeuroendocrine tumours.
Neuroendocrine tumours are a heterogeneous group including, for example, carcinoid, gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours, pituitary tumours, medullary carcinoma of the thyroid and phaeochromocytomas. They have attracted much attention in recent years, both because they are relatively easy to palliate and because they have indicated the chronic effect of the particular hormone elevated....
