Neuroendocrine tumors (NET) in gastrointestinal tract are uncommon yet distinctive lesions. Primary duodenal neuroendocrine tumor is rare entity accounting for less than 2% of all gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors. We present a case of 70 years female with complaint of generalized bodyache, weakness, weight loss, fever and abdominal pain since 1 month. She also had a history of passing black colored stool since 15 to 20 days and had history of low grade fever since 6 months. Ultrasound of the abdomen revealed duodenal wall thickening and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed large polypoidal growth on anterior duodenal wall. Endoscopic biopsy was done and sent to our histopathology department where it was reported as low grade duodenal neuroendocrinal tumor. As duodenal neuroendocrinal tumor is rare it is important to be aware of microscopic findings and differential diagnosis of duodenal neuroendocrinal tumor.
