Журнал хирургической патологии и диагностики

Neuroendocrine tumours are rare and slow growing neoplasms. They can grow and occur anywhere in the human body; however, the gastrointestinal system is the most common site. In our article we discuss a case of a 38-year-old male patient, who is previously healthy, and presented to our hospital after been complaining of left Para-umbilical and suprapubic pain of few weeks’ duration. CT abdomen pelvis with IV contrast was done in a peripheral hospital showing multiple abdominal cystic masses along with a variety of adenopathies of different sizes. Our general surgery team was consulted for surgical biopsy. Intra-op, the largest jejunal mass was identified, as well as, numerous abdominal adenopathies, mesenteric and peritoneal deposits suggestive of carcinomatosis. Pathology result came back conclusive of gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors.
