Abstract
Primary hepatic neuroendocrine tumors (PHNETS) are rare entities, often misdiagnosed as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), especially in patients underlying cirrhosis. We report a case of A 63-year-old male follow-up for liver cirrhosis, who presented with incidentally detected 2 livers masses on abdominal computed tomography. Imaging studies suggested HCC. However, histopathological analyses confirmed the diagnosis of a well differentiated grade 1 neuroendocrine tumor. This case highlights the importance of considering PHNET in the differential diagnosis of hepatic tumor in cirrhotic patient.
