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.
原发性肝神经内分泌肿瘤(PHNETs)是一种罕见的肿瘤。诊断是一个逐步发展的过程,需要通过组织学确认进行系统的临床排除。治疗以手术为主,预后良好,但由于肿瘤复发率高,需要长期随访。由于病例稀少,对这类肿瘤的了解仍然有限。本文阐述了这种罕见肿瘤的关键特征、诊断流程、当前治疗方法、其他治疗选择以及对相关文献的广泛综述。
