Abstract
The second article in this 2-part continuing medical education series reviews the following malignant causes of flushing: mastocytosis, medullary thyroid carcinoma, pheochromocytoma, carcinoid tumors, gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, bronchogenic carcinoma, vasointestinal polypeptide secreting tumors, and renal cell carcinoma. The information provided will allow physicians to better distinguish patients who have worrisome presentations that require a more thorough investigation. Appropriate diagnostic workup and treatment options for these malignancies are reviewed.
