Small bowel neuroendocrine neoplasm: what surgeons want to know

Akshya Gupta et al. Abdom Radiol (NY). 2022 Dec.

Abstract

Neuroendocrine neoplasms of the small bowel are a diverse group of tumors with a broad spectrum of imaging findings and clinical implications. Most tumors originate in close proximity to the ileocecal valve and most commonly metastasize to the mesentery and liver. This review will highlight the imaging findings of primary and metastatic small bowel neuroendocrine neoplasm that are most relevant to the surgical team.

Keywords: DOTATATE; Mesenteric metastasis; Neuroendocrine tumor; Surgical cytoreduction.
