Outcomes of SDHB pathogenic variant carriers: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: Penetrance for PPGL in SDHB PV carriers increases linearly with age. Affected carriers are at risk of developing and dying from metastatic disease, or of developing second tumors. Lifelong surveillance is appropriate.PMID:38605204 | DOI:10.1210/clinem/dgae233 (Source: The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism)

Cancers, Vol. 16, Pages 1466: Long-Term Surgical Outcome of Class A and B Tympanomastoid Paragangliomas
Conclusions: Tympanomastoid PGL represents the most common neoplasm of the middle ear space. The most frequent presenting symptoms include pulsatile tinnitus and hearing loss, whereas the presence of retrotympanic mass was evident in all cases at the time of initial otoscopic evaluation. Proper documentation of facial function and audiometric evaluation are crucial elements of preoperative workup. The most preferred preoperative radiologic examination is high-resolution computer tomography (HRCT), whereas magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with or without gadolinium enhancement is reserved for cases with a dilemma of carotid...
