Atypical Carcinoid Neuroendocrine Tumor of the Ureter: A Case Report and Literature Review

AbstractNeuroendocrine tumors (NETs) of the ureter are rare, with less than 40 cases described in the literature. A majority of tumors described are poorly differentiated tumors with a poor prognosis. We present the case of a moderately differentiated atypical carcinoid NET of the ureter with a good postoperative outcome. A literature review was also performed to identify similar cases to compare their management and postoperative outcomes.

Peripheral Location

Pulmonary neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are rare tumors with an incidence rate of 0.2–2/100 000 population/year in Western countries (M. E. Caplin et al. Ann Oncol 2015; 26:1604–20). They account for 1–2% of all neoplasms of the lung and constitute one-fourth to one-third of all NETs. Atypical carcinoids are far less common than typical carcinoids and predominantly occur in male smokers aged 50 –70 years. Most pulmonary NETs are asymptomatic due to their peripheral location. Surgical resection is the treatment of choice. Medical management should take hormone-related symptoms into account.

Arterial Chemoembolization

Abstract Neuroendocrine tumors in the mediastinum are relatively rare. We report a patient with mediastinal neuroendocrine tumor that was successfully resected after descending stage by drug-eluting embolic transcatheter arterial chemoembolization had been performed. No tumor recurrence was found in the 1-year follow-up after surgical resection.

Slow Growing

Neuroendocrine tumors are slow-growing neoplasms, histologically based on enteroendocrine cells. They are tumors with different degrees of differentiation, uncertain biological nature and metastatic ability. Their most common localization is the gastrointestinal tract, with a special group of the neuroendocrine tumors of appendix, which are incidentally found after appendectomy. In case report, we would like to present a case of a patient with neuroendocrine tumors of appendix diagnosed by colonoscopy.

Ultrasound Features

Duodenal neuroendocrine tumors are rare neoplasms arising from endocrine cells. Here we present a case of 32-year-old woman with Duodenal neuroendocrine tumors, report the imaging and contrast-enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS) features and review previous literatures of neuroendocrine tumors, which may be valuable for the differential diagnosis of duodenal neoplasms.
