description INTRODUCTION: Primary neuroendocrine breast carcinoma (NEBC) is a rare entity of breast cancer. PRESENTATION OF CASE: We herein report a case of right hepatectomy for a NEBC liver metastasis. DISCUSSION: Little is known about its evolution, bilologic behavior and optimal treatment. Its malignant potential has been addressed in few reports, with cases of metachronous metastases in diverse sites, even years following treatment of the breast primarily. CONCLUSION: Treating this kind of cancer implies both breast and hepatic surgery. Primary neuroendocrine breast carcinoma (NEBC) is a rare entity of breast cancer. Little is known about its evolution, biologic behavior and optimal treatment. Its malignant potential has been addressed in few reports, with cases of metachronous metastases in diverse sites, even years following treatment of the breast primarily. We herein report a case of right hepatectomy for a NEBC liver metastasis.
