Mixed acinar-endocrine carcinoma (MAEC) of the pancreas is extremely uncommon. We report here a rare case of MAEC of the pancreas presenting as watery diarrhea. This is the first report in the English-language literature that describes the imaging findings of MAEC of the pancreas, including computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, and MR cholangiopancreatography features.

Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) are a diverse, highly heterogeneous group of neoplasms derived from endocrine cells found in the neural crest. NETs typically display endocrine metabolism and slow growth, while displaying a wide range of presentations and clinical symptoms. Demonstrating typically small lesions, with varying anatomical localisation, diagnosis is typically in the advanced stages of...

Abstract All components of the musculoskeletal system can be involved by metabolic disorders as a result endocrine diseases, genetic alterations, and environmental or nutritional aspects, with important worldwide variations in prevalence severity. Early detection these is crucial because efficacy preventive measures availability treatments. The current chapter will focus on imaging appearance b...

Nuclear imaging of the thyroid and parathyroid glands has evolved from early radionuclide rectilinear thyroid scanning to the recently developed dual isotope subtraction technique for detecting parathyroid lesions. At the same time, x-ray fluorescent scanning, ultrasound, x-ray computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging have improved identification of these endocrine organs. The approp...

The three-dimensional architecture of the pancreatic islet is integral to beta cell function, but the process of islet formation remains poorly understood due to the difficulties of imaging internal organs with cellular resolution. Within transparent zebrafish larvae, the developing pancreas is relatively superficial and thus amenable to live imaging approaches. We performed in vivo time-lapse ...
