Neuroendocrine Tumors Flashcard Deck - 10 Cards

Flashcard 1: The investigation of choice for insulinoma is the determination of _-hour fasting glucose and serum _ levels.

Answer: 72; insulin

Flashcard 2: Most reliable test for an insulinoma is a _____-hr fasting test

Answer: 72

Flashcard 3: In a patient with ACTH-dependent Cushing syndrome and a positive high-dose dexamethasone suppression test (HDDST) but a negative pituitary MRI, what is the next best step?

Answer: Inferior petrosal sinus sampling (IPSS)

Extra: A positive High-Dose Dexamethasone Suppression Test (HDDST), defined as >50% suppression of cortisol, suggests a pituitary source (Cushing's disease). If the pituitary MRI is negative or inconclusive (e.g., lesion <6 mm), inferior petrosal sinus sampling (IPSS) is the gold standard next step to differentiate a pituitary source from ectopic ACTH secretion.

Flashcard 4: _____ phenomenon occurs due to excess night-time dose of insulin

Answer: Somogyi

Flashcard 5: _____ syndrome is an enlargement of existing ACTH-secreting pituitary adenoma after bilateral adrenalectomy for refractory Cushing disease

Answer: Nelson

Flashcard 6: Clinical features of _____ include moon facies, buffalo hump, and truncal obesity due to increased fat storage, secondary to excess insulin

Answer: Cushing syndrome

Flashcard 7: Secondary sexual characteristics are normal in _____ and Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (AIS).

Answer: Müllerian agenesis (MRKH)

Flashcard 8: Summary of laboratory findings in parathyroid diseases (PTH, Calcium, Phosphate)

Answer: See table for Primary/Secondary/Tertiary Hyperparathyroidism, Hypoparathyroidism, and Pseudohypoparathyroidism.

Extra: • **Primary Hyperparathyroidism**: ↑ PTH, ↑ Ca²⁺, ↓ PO₄³⁻ • **Secondary Hyperparathyroidism**: ↑ PTH, ↓ Ca²⁺, ↑ PO₄³⁻ • **Hypoparathyroidism**: ↓ PTH, ↓ Ca²⁺, ↑ PO₄³⁻ • **Pseudohypoparathyroidism**: ↑ PTH, ↓ Ca²⁺, ↑ PO₄³⁻ (End-organ resistance)
