Neuroendocrine Carcinoma of the Colon: Emergency Presentation of a Rare Disease With Poor Biology

Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are rare entities. Most common among them are gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) and pulmonary NETs. Most of them are indolent in nature. Colonic NETs are rare among GEP-NETs and mostly present with large size and with metastasis. Emergency presentat...

description Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are rare entities. Most common among them are gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) and pulmonary NETs. Most of them are indolent in nature. Colonic NETs are rare among GEP-NETs and mostly present with large size and with metastasis. Emergency presentation with hematochezia is rare in colonic NETs. This case report discusses a rare emergency presentation of colonic NETs and highlights their poor biological nature.
