Rare case of concurrent suprasternal and cardiac metastasis from small bowel neuroendocrine tumour
Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) are rare tumours derived from the neuroendocrine cell system, arising across a wide range of organs, most commonly the gastrointestinal tract and bronchopulmonary symptoms. Although NETs can metastasis widely throughout the body, cardiac metastasis is rare with an incid...

Sumario: | Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) are rare tumours derived from the neuroendocrine cell system, arising across a wide range of organs, most commonly the gastrointestinal tract and bronchopulmonary symptoms. Although NETs can metastasis widely throughout the body, cardiac metastasis is rare with an incidence of 2–4% and usually presents in the presence of extensive metastasis elsewhere. Suprasternal metastasis to the neck is exceedingly rare with <20 cases reported in the literature. We report the case of a 71-year-old female with concurrent cardiac and suprasternal metastasis at diagnosis of terminal ileal NET. |
