Abstract:
:Neuroendocrine tumours (NET) are rare. They usually arise from the gastrointestinal or bronchopulmonary systems. Most are discovered incidentally and the small bowel tumours pose special difficulty in detection and treatment. Primary mesenteric involvement is very rare. Here we report such a case with a liver metastasis. This was preoperatively diagnosed and treated by enucleation of the mesenteric tumour together with right hepatectomy in a single sitting.
