Primary Renal Somatostatinoma with Hepatic Metastases

#224

Introduction: Somatostatinomas are rare gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NET) with a primary lesion that is invariably localized to the pancreas (40%) or duodenum or jejunum (50%).

Aim(s): We present a case of metastatic somatostatinoma with a likely renal primary and a ‘somatostatin’ syndrome.

Materials and methods: A 49-year-old female referred with metastatic neuroendocrine tumor. 15-20 year history of right-sided lower chest and upper abdomen pain which had worsened in the preceding months, and had recently developed flushing, indigestion, and increased defecation. US revealed liver and renal masses.
