Core Tip	The initial evaluation of small rectal neuroendocrine tumors should thoroughly assess endoscopic features, including size, location, surface pit pattern and atypical changes. Imaging modalities should be used to rule out possible lymph node involvement and distant metastasis. Cold biopsy or polypectomy should be avoided, and modified endoscopic mucosal resection with submucosal stretching should be chosen as a priority. For small incompletely resected tumors without other risk factors, salvage resection can be carefully considered. Long-term follow-up is necessary if patients decline additional treatment. For patients with complete resection and risk factors, extended follow-up should be considered.
