Core Tip Upper gastrointestinal bleeding caused by portal hypertension is a rare form of advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor. Our patient presented with hematemesis and hematochezia at 26-wk gestation, but no other significant medical history. Positron emission tomography-computed tomography revealed that lesions in the liver were found to be pancreatic neuroendocrine carcinoma during pregnancy. This case demonstrates that upper gastrointestinal bleeding as the initial presentation should be suspected among pregnant patients at high risk for malignancies.
