Neuroendocrine Tumour of the Ileum Presenting As Intestinal Obstruction in a 23 yr Old Female: A Case Report and Literature Review
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Primary small bowel tumors are rare and constitute only 1-3% of GI malignancies. Neuroendocrine tumors are rare tumors that arise from enterochromaffin cells in GI Tract. These may present with non-hormonal features due to partial obstruction of bowel or with hormonal features due to secretion of serotonin and other biochemical substances into circulation. WHO in 2010 classified these tumors according to Ki 67 index and mitotic count which is believed to be a useful prognostic factor and related with tumor size, invasion and metastasis. Treatment is mainly surgical comprising of segmental resection of small bowel with associated lymph node clearance. We present a case of a who grade 2 neuroendocrine tumor presenting in a 23 year old female as intestinal obstruction without metastasis. We are reporting this case because of early age of onset and its presentation as intestinal obstruction which lead to early diagnosis of the disease before it metastasised, hence improving the prognosis. Review of literature done to emphasise the clinicopathological features, diagnosis and treatment of the disease.
