Unusual Presentation of Jejunal Neuroendocrine Tumor with Cystic Hepatic Metastasis

Neuroendocrine tumors are derived from primitive stem cells in the gut wall, but also can be seen in other organs. Most Neuroendocrine tumors are slow growing and indolent without symptoms. Nevertheless, aggressive and metastatic disease (e.g., in the brain) does occur. Here we report a case of jejunal neuroendocrine tumor with cystic metastasis in liver presented with progressive right sided abdominal distension.
