A Case of Duodenum Neuroendocrine Tumor with Multiple Liver Metastasis Treated with Multimodal Therapy

: The patient is a 65-year-old woman with anemia. The multiple liver tumors detected by ultrasonography, it was diagnosed as neuroendocrine tumor(NET), G2 by biopsy. There was an ulcer at the bulb of the duodenum, so we diagnosed liver metastasis of duodenum NET. Because the liver tumors spreaded to both right and left lobes, we carrying out a transcatheter arterial embolization(TAE)twice to liver metastasis, and chemotherapy by octreotide was performed. 20 months after the beginning of treatment, a 4 cm tumor was remained in the left lobe but others were not detected by computed tomography, so we performed cytoreductive surgery. Duodenum bulb resection and left hepatectomy was performed and the specimens were NET, G2 in the pathological findings. We detected a lot of tumors less than 1 cm in the right lobe during the operation, so TAE was carried out for the right lobe after surgery. The disease showed no progression for 28 months after the first admission(post operation5 months).
