Later diagnosed with a neuroendocrine tumor, case report of a 60-year-old

Neuroendocrine tumours of the colon and rectum are infrequent. Clinical manifestations are not different from standard adenocarcinoma. Symptoms are non specific; the most common are abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, weight loss and gastrointestinal blood loss. We report an advanced case of transverse colon neuroendocrine carcinoma with multiple metastasis. When these tumours are diagnosed, they have distance disease related to a poor prognosis for the patient. Surgery is the treatment that can offer a greater chance of survival to these patients.
