Parathyroid hormone-related protein producing pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors have been infrequently reported. Herein, we report a case of an Iranian woman who had such a tumor during pregnancy, and gave birth to a female neonate with esophago-tracheal fistula and imperforated anus. Hypercalcemia was diagnosed at postpartum because of elevated serum calcium levels in the neonate and neurologic...

radioiodinated meta iodobenzylguanidine (mibg) is one of the important radiopharmaceuticals in nuclear medicine. [123/131i]mibg is used for imaging of adrenal medulla, studying heart sympathetic nerves, treatment of pheochromacytoma and neuroblastoma. for clinical application, radioiodinated mibg is prepared through isotopic exchange method, which includes replacement of radioactive iodine in a...

BACKGROUND Carcinomas of the breast with neuroendocrine features are incorporated in the World Health Organization classification since 2003 and include well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors, poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas/small cell carcinomas, and invasive breast carcinomas with neuroendocrine differentiation. Neuroendocrine differentiation is known to be more common in c...
