This patient.
0:05
I didn't read this patient clinically, so I actually,
0:08
I updated the report and the slides
0:10
because, um, there was, um, again, um,
0:15
a mening that I didn't talk about in the report.
0:17
So Shriver mentioned to us, here it is.
0:23
Let me pull the ct, the access
0:29
to the difference solution.
0:31
Yeah, here you go. Okay, so we have here the,
0:35
this is the twittery, this theologic twittery activity
0:40
that we are used to, right?
0:42
And there's this focal activity,
0:43
focal intense activity in the LAR region, right?
0:47
This is men of course, we all know that mening,
0:49
we mening gmas express our receptor
0:51
receptors and we see it all the time.
0:53
And usually like brain mass from neuroendocrin tumor is
0:56
super duper rare.
0:58
So this is, this is much,
1:01
much more likely to be a mening gma.
1:02
We see mening GMA all the time.
1:03
Actually, I have cases where we saw Mening, we did MRI,
1:08
it was too small for even MRIs to see it, believe it or not.
1:12
MRI couldn't see it, but it wasn't mening.
1:14
It was not metastatic. So this is,
1:16
look, look at the location.
1:18
Oh, it's obviously extra axi, right? And it's hot here.
1:23
We used to see it on ultra scan.
1:24
If you guys remember even core exam used to, uh,
1:27
I mean our radiology exam, um, used to ask about it.
1:31
They would tell you an oxygen scan
1:32
with a focal activity in the head
1:33
and to ask, what is this Oma?
1:36
It is known, right? So one of the non neuroendocrin tumors
1:40
that expressed smart statin receptors, other than
1:43
that is the primary being pancreatic mass here.
1:47
That is intensely SA avid,
1:53
very hot pancreatic mass, right?
1:57
And um,
2:01
and the same concept, you have to look carefully around it
2:05
for the regional lymph nodes.
2:07
Is there any aortic?
2:10
My experience with the,
2:11
and we do a lot of neuroendocrin tumors, pancreatic mass,
2:15
pancreat, uh, masses usually love to go
2:18
to the al lymph nodes.
2:19
Med gut, neuroendocrin tumor, love to go to the mesenteric.
2:23
Later on you can have,
2:25
for the med gut you can have metastatic and al,
2:28
but usually, predominantly med gut will be mesenteric.
2:32
Pancreatic will be tronia. This is usually the pattern.
2:36
So when you have mesenteric nodes, a lot of mesenteric nodes
2:41
and you don't see the primary me enteric is 99%
2:45
of the time it's gonna be med gut, which means small bowel.
2:48
Look carefully at the small bowel.
2:50
And usually it's gonna be in, in the vicinity
2:53
of the mesenteric nodes.
2:56
So see, where is your bulk of mesenteric? The
2:58
Largest mesenteric node.
3:00
And look closer to it.
3:04
You will find focal activity.
3:06
It's not gonna be as prominent.
3:08
It's gonna be smaller
3:10
and less hot than the mesenteric node itself.
3:14
Fussing to a gut, fusing to a small bowel.
3:16
This is gonna be your primary side. I'll show you.
3:18
The next case is a small bowel.
3:20
This case doesn't have anything. A
3:21
necrotic obviously necrotic, right?
3:23
You see the central Nia intensely, CC avid,
3:27
pancreatic head mass, nothing else, no lymph nodes.
3:31
And then you go up, you have to decrease the intensity
3:33
because still this is still too hot
3:38
and will make you feel that everything is like popping up.
3:41
So this a little bit more. And then look through the liver.
3:43
The liver is like really this is, this is,
3:46
this is a little more lighter than it would like.
3:50
And then anyway, so nothing the liver you already got looked
3:53
at, this liver was clean
3:57
also and nothing else.
4:00
And you always look at the map.
4:01
Don't forget to look at the map.
4:07
So this is just pancreatic.
4:08
And I did put the staging,
4:12
the a g CCC eighth edition
4:14
because in the eighth edition there was significant change.
4:18
It was for the first time ever
4:20
that they separated the pancreatic neuro, the consumer.
4:22
Then the regular till that addition,
4:24
till the seventh edition pancreatic neuroendocrin tumor were
4:28
staged similar to the pancreat, uh, exocrine
4:30
or adenocarcinoma, which was not fair
4:34
because adenocarcinoma is very aggressive tumor.
4:37
Why neuroendocrin tumor is not have very two or not.
4:41
Um, so the staging was not working.
4:45
But then in the eighth edition, finally they recognized
4:48
that neuro pancreatic neuroendocrin tumor should have their
4:51
own staging, right?
4:52
Because this is linked to survivals.
4:55
So they separated them and we had, uh, a separate staging.
5:00
So this is why I included this in your, uh, the slides.
