Abstract
Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) of the digestive tract are rare tumors, but their prevalence is increasing. The anatomopathological examination is essential for establishing the diagnosis and for their histo-prognostic evaluation. Primary hepatic neuroendocrine tumors (PHNETs) are extremely rare, with only 200 cases described in the literature up to 2022. Given the rarity of PHNETs, there are no established algorithms for the diagnosis and management of these lesions, which presents a real medical challenge. Treatment is mainly surgical. The prognosis for these NETs appears to be better. The 10-year survival rate is around 70%. We report the case of a patient admitted for etiological evaluation of chronic right hypochondriac pain.
