“…The liver was not included as the primary site of origin, probably because a primary hepatic neuroendocrine tumor is extremely rare. To date, only 42 cases of neuroendocrine tumor arising primarily from the liver have been reported [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30]. The important clinical data and morphologic findings of these patients, including the 2 cases reported here, are summarized in table 1.…”

Background/Aims: Primary hepatic neuroendocrine tumor represents an extremely rare clinical entity with only very few cases having been reported to date. Methods: The case histories of 2 patients with presumably primary hepatic neuroendocrine tumor were analyzed and a complete follow-up obtained. The literature was reviewed to provide comprehensive data collection. Results: Both patients underwent partial hepatic resection. Histomorphologic diagnosis revealed a neuroendocrine tumor in both cases. Extensive preoperative as well as intra- and postoperative search for the primary tumor did not identify another site of neuroendocrine tumor tissue. Six and ten years after hepatic segmentectomy, the 2 patients are alive and show no clinical signs of malignancy. Their most recent thorough follow-up included computed tomography and somatostatin receptor scintigraphy. Neither a nonhepatic primary neuroendocrine tumor site nor recurrent disease was found in the 2 patients. The literature review resulted in a complete survey of all previously reported cases of primary hepatic neuroendocrine tumors. Conclusion: We conclude that the liver was the primary site of the neuroendocrine tumor in both patients. Radical surgery was successfully performed as the only treatment option with curative intention.

“…Within the gastrointestinal tract, most neuroendocrine tumors occur in the rectum (17.2%), jejunum/ileum (13.4%), and pancreas (6.4%) 3 . Primary hepatic neuroendocrine carcinomas (PHNECs), by comparison, are extremely rare, with only about 150 cases having been reported in the English‐language literature 4–27 …”
