It is usually considered that only 5% of all pituitary neuroendocrine tumours are due to
inheritable causes. Since this estimate was reported, however, multiple genetic defects …

Simple Summary Carotid body tumors (CBTs) are rare tumors and only appear in 1–2
individuals per 100,000. The etiology of CBTs remains unclear; however, SDH mutations …

Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs) are catecholamine-producing
neuroendocrine tumors derived from chromaffin cells. 1–3 Pheochromocytomas are derived …

Tumors of the endocrine glands are common. Knowledge of their molecular pathology has
greatly advanced in the recent past. This review covers the main molecular alterations of …

Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGL) are neuroendocrine tumors which

Carotid body tumors (CBTs) are rare tumors with a 1–2 incidence per 100,000 individuals.
CBTs may initially present without apparent symptoms, and symptoms begin to arise since …

Paragangliomas (PGLs) are rare tumours of the autonomic nervous system that cause high
morbidity and mortality. Diagnosis and management can be challenging and no consensus …

Most somatotrophinomas arise sporadically due to somatic genetic defects [1, 2]. In contrast,
germline defects are estimated to explain only around 5% of all pituitary neuroendocrine …
