Clin Nucl Med. 2018 Mar;43(3):192-194. doi: 10.1097/RLU.0000000000001938.

Abstract

Primary hepatic neuroendocrine tumors are extremely rare and difficult to distinguish from other liver tumors such as hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma. We present a case of primary hepatic neuroendocrine tumor in which F-FDG PET/CT imaging played an important role in the diagnosis.
