Abstract

Primary hepatic neuroendocrine tumors (PHNETs) are rear neoplasm. Diagnosis is an evolution, and requires a systematic clinical exclusion with histological confirmation. Treatment is surgical with excellent prognosis, and a long-term follow-up is required due to high tumor recurring rate. Knowledge from this species of tumor remains limited due to paucity of cases. This article elaborates the key features, diagnosis algorithm, current management, other treatment options and extensive review of literature on this rear tumor.
