Abstract
Adrenal paraganglioma (or "pheochromocytoma") and extra-adrenal paraganglioma, collectively abbreviated PPGL, are rare but spectacular nonepithelial neuroendocrine neoplasms. These are the most inheritable neoplasia of all, with a metastatic potential in a varying degree. As of such, these lesions demand careful histologic, immunohistochemical, and genetic characterization to provide the clinical team with a detailed report taking into account the anticipated prognosis and risk of syndromic/inherited disease. While no histologic algorithm, immunohistochemical biomarker, or molecular aberration single-handedly can identify potentially lethal cases upfront, the combined analysis of various risk parameters may stratify PPGL patients more stringently than previously. Moreover, the novel 2022 WHO Classification of Endocrine and Neuroendocrine Tumors also brings some new concepts into play, not least the reclassification of special neuroendocrine neoplasms (cauda equina neuroendocrine tumor and composite gangliocytoma/neuroma-neuroendocrine tumor) previously thought to belong to the spectrum of PPGL. This review focuses on updated key diagnostic and prognostic concepts that will aid when facing this rather enigmatic tumor entity in clinical practice.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
