Abstract
Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are uncommon malignancies that develop from neuroendocrine cells which most commonly occur in the GI tract, lung, and pancreas. Treatment courses for these tumors are largely dictated by the primary origin site, which can present diagnostic and therapeutic challenges in NETs of unknown primary origin. Herein, we present a case of an NETof unknown primary origin with significant liver metastases. Our aim is to highlight the key components of the workup of NETs of unknown primary origin and detail the biochemical, histopathological, and imaging modalities as recommended by current literature. We highlight the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to both diagnosis and treatment of these patients as well as touch upon therapeutic options.
