An Incidental Case of Neuroendocrine Tumor Case Report

Abstract

Rectal neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), which have a 0.17% incidence, are rare. Despite the fact that improved detection rates are to blame for the current increase in NET incidence. Furthermore, it has been determined that the following elements significantly influence the tumor's capacity to spread: Proliferative index, depth of infiltration at diagnosis, and tumor size ⁽¹⁾. When the tumor is detected at a low-grade proliferation stage, rectal NET offers the best prognosis of any NET type. Modern knowledge of the lesion's morphology, along with the additional use of ancillary studies, help diagnose NET as soon as possible so that the necessary management may be tailored.
