Rev Esp Enferm Dig. 2022 Dec;114(12):747-748. doi: 10.17235/reed.2022.8900/2022.

Abstract

We report the case of a jejunum neuroendocrine neoplasm with liver metastases, the lesion showed somatostatin receptor expression in the junction of duodenum and jejunum without enlarged lymph nodes in 68Ga-DOTA-NOC PET/CT scan, definitive diagnosis and treatment depend on double-balloon enteroscopy and laparoscopy. This is a meaningful and thought-provoking process.
