Abstract:
Neuroendocrine tumors are typically low-malignancy growths arising from neuroectodermal cells of neural crest origin. Neuroendocrine carcinoma, on the other hand, represents a high-malignancy form of these tumors. While rare in the liver, they often indicate metastasis when present. We present a unique case of incidentally discovered primary hepatic neuroendocrine carcinoma. Initially, the patient\'s management was based on misleading radiological findings. However, histopathology confirmed the diagnosis, with subsequent imaging ruling out an extrahepatic source. Despite this, the patient opted against surgical intervention, resulting in a fatal outcome. This case underscores the critical importance of prompt diagnosis and intervention to avert adverse outcomes.
摘要:
神经内分泌肿瘤通常是由神经c起源的神经外胚层细胞引起的低恶性生长。神经内分泌癌,另一方面,代表这些肿瘤的高度恶性形式。虽然在肝脏中很少见,当存在时,它们通常表明转移。我们介绍了偶然发现的原发性肝神经内分泌癌的独特病例。最初,患者的治疗是基于误导性的放射学发现.然而,组织病理学证实了诊断,随后的成像排除了肝外来源。尽管如此,病人选择不进行外科手术,导致致命的结果。此病例强调了及时诊断和干预以避免不良结果的至关重要性。
