A case of successful treatment of a neuroendocrine tumor of the small intestine complicated by partial intestinal obstruction

Abstract

The incidence of neoplasms of the small intestine does not exceed 3% in the structure of all tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. Among them, the frequency of neuroendocrine tumors is about 30%. Due to the absence of pathognomonic symptoms, such tumors are usually detected at the stage of surgical complications such as intestinal obstruction or intestinal necrosis. In such a situation, the oncological process is already either locally widespread or generalized. Therefore, timely diagnosis of tumors should be based not only on the complaints and anamnesis, allowing to suspect the development of complications, but also on the use of modern imaging methods.

A clinical case demonstrating the difficulties of timely diagnosis of a neuroendocrine tumor of the small intestine is presented.
