ABSTRACT

A man in his early 20s presented to us in the outpatient department with a history of diarrhoea for 4 months. Investigations revealed elevated serum chromogranin levels and an intensely avid lesion in the gastrohepatic ligament in Gallium DOTATATE positron emission tomography (PET). The tumour was excised laparoscopically, and no other lesions were seen. The patient improved clinically and had a normal serum chromogranin level postoperatively. He is currently much improved at the 1year follow-up. We did an extensive workup to look for a primary tumour. It was concluded that it was a de novo tumour arising from the lesser sac. The recommended investigations in case of neuroendocrine tumour (NET) with unknown primary include blood investigations to look for the functional status of the tumour, histopathological examination, including immunohistochemistry, and radiological imaging, which must include a Gallium DOTATATE PET. An isolated NET of the lesser sac has not been reported in the literature.
