INTRODUCTION: The majority of neuroendocrine tumors (NET) are located in the gastrointestinal tract (67.5%) and in the bronchopulmonary (25.3%).
CASE REPORT: CA, female, 42 years old, profuse diarrhea about two months, cramping for increased peristalsis, vomiting and weight loss. The patient, diagnosed with ileal neuroendocrine tumor, by colonoscopy with biopsy of lesion, therefore came in our unit to be subjected to surgical therapy. Plasma assay Chromogranin A was performed: 160 ng / ml (nv: 15-100 ng / ml). The patient underwent surgery of right hemicolectomy.
DISCUSSION: Neuroendocrine tumors although are rare diseases, have an increasing impact, probably by virtue of improved diagnostic methods. In case of profuse diarrhea should be suspected a neuroendocrine tumor. Certainly the diagnosis of certainty is given by histological examination (biopsy or resected nodule).
CONCLUSION: After surgical excision is necessary to perform the follow-up of chromogranin A, and, if not executed, perform nuclear medicine examinations such as Octreoscan and PET.
KEY-WORDS: Chromogranin A, Neuroendocrine tumor, Octreoscan.
