Adity Sharma, Alankrita Deka
Abstract :
INTRODUCTION: Primary hepatic neuroendocrine tumours are rare. Excluding extrahepatic origin of the tumour with liver metastasis is
important.
A 55year old male complaining of weight loss, intermittent fever, anorexia for 2 months .No abnormality detected CASE REPORT: in routine
investigations. On whole body CT–scan a rounded solitary space occupying hepatic lesion measuring 3.5x 3.4 was seen. USG–guided FNAC was
done. MGG stain smear shows small round cells with high N–C ratio, stippled chromatin and indistinct nucleoli. Further, IC staining shows
positivity with synaptophysin and chromogranin A which confirms the diagnosis of primary neuroendocrine tumour of liver.
CONCLUSION: PHNEC should be considered as a possible differential diagnosis in management of hepatic tumours. Surgical resection must be
considered for curative treatment.
