Abstract

CAUDET-ESTEBAN, Jana; OLMO-GARCIA, María Isabel Del  and  MERINO-TORRES, Juan Francisco. Neuroendocrine ileal tumor with difficult to control carcinoid syndrome. Acta Med Colomb [online]. 2018, vol.43, n.3, pp.161-164. ISSN 0120-2448.

Neuroendocrine tumors are infrequent neoplasms with a complex approach. Currently, more randomized clinical trials are needed to establish the optimal management of patients affected by unresectable liver metastases. A case of metastatic NET in which hepatic transplantation was indicated due to symptoms derived from the carcinoid syndrome that cannot be controlled with the usual medical treatment is provided.

Keywords : neuroendocrine; carcinoid; hepatic metastasis; somatostatin analogues; liver transplantation; telotristat; radiometabolic.
