Abstract
- The patient was a 79-year-old woman. In January 20XX, upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a duodenal tumor with bleeding and ulceration. This tumor was diagnosed as a duodenal neuroendocrine tumor(NET)based on biopsy findings. In March 20XX, the patient underwent pancreatoduodenectomy with lymph node dissemination. Based on these pathological findings, the tumor was diagnosed as a duodenal NET(G2)with a lymph node metastasis(T2, N1, M0, Stage Ⅲ). Twenty months after the operation, abdominal CT revealed multiple liver metastases(S4, S7, and S8). After this recurrence, she underwent the subcutaneous somatostatin analogue injection therapy every 28 days, and transarterial chemoembolization( TACE)when these recurrent tumors showed remarkable regrowth, once a year, accounting for her age. She has maintained good disease control for 5 years.
