Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor with Hepatic Metastasis Misdiagnosed as Hepatocellular Carcinoma
The Korean Journal of Internal Medicine(2019)
Abstract
The liver is the most common site of metastasis of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). Gastroenteropancreatic (GEP)-NETs are rare, and the distinction between hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and metastatic NET can be difficult due to the similarity of their histological characteristics. Herein, we report a case of GEP-NET with hepatic metastasis, which was first misdiagnosed as HCC by liver biopsy and subsequently re-diagnosed after surgery as primary GEP-NET.
