| Core Tip |
The clinical diagnosis of primary hepatic neuroendocrine neoplasm (NEN) remains challenging due to its rarity and difficulty in differentiating between primary and metastatic NENs. We present a case of primary hepatic NEN that presented with exceedingly gradual growth over 10 years, initially mimicking a hemangioma. Close preoperative observation, positron emission tomography findings, and postoperative somatostatin receptor scintigraphy findings greatly contributed to the final diagnosis. This case highlights the importance of close preoperative observations of NENs. In addition, the clinical usefulness of these modalities for correct diagnosis has been suggested, although regular postoperative follow-up is required. |
