RESUMO
Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are rare and slow-growing. They are often found incidentally, and patients typically present with vague symptoms. This is a case report detailing an 83-year-old female who presents with signs and symptoms consistent with esophageal stricture and was incidentally found to have a duodenal NET. Treatment typically involves surgical removal and carries a good prognosis. With complete surgical resection of localized tumors, the chance of progression or recurrence is low.
