Abstract

|
|
|
Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) arising from the pancreas and duodenum together represent 18% of all gastroenteropancreatic NETs. Duodenal neuroendocrine tumor (D-NET) comprises 1%?3% of all primary duodenal tumors, of these only 20% are resectable. Surgery remains the only curative option provided a R0 resection can be done. We present a case of D-NET in an elderly male who was being investigated for anemia who was treated with pancreaticoduodenectomy and was discharged without sequele.
