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...

description 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.
