Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia with Pulmonary Localization: A New Protocol of Approach

Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia with Pulmonary Localization: A New Protocol of Approach

We present three patients with bronchial carcinoids, in which a more probed study emphasized the presence of three multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN). Assessment included a total-body computerized tomography, a total-body single-photon emission computerized tomography by 111In-DTPA-D-Phe1 octreotide...
