Abstract

The presence of primary neuroendocrine tumors in the liver is still a matter of controversy. We present a case of a somatostatin-receptor-positive mass of the liver in the 68Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT. No other primary tumor was found after conventional imaging, endoscopically, and after liver-segment resection. Immunohistochemically, a constellation of findings was found to be compatible with a primary neuroendocrine neoplasm of the liver.
