Abstract

Mesenteric primary neuroendocrine tumors (NET) are extremely rare, while mesenteric secondary NET is classical, reported that 40% to 80%. And the distant metastasis rate reported that 80% to 90%, when the size is larger than 2 cm [1]. We present a rare case mesenteric neuroendocrine primary tumor Benin showing the character despite his size greater than 2 cm. The patient visited our hospital, with increasing palpable abdominal mass. At laparotomy, a resulting mass mesentery well encapsulated near the ligament of Treitz was found without any extension to adjacent organs or distant metastasis. The mass was measured 55x54 mm and histology plan was classified Grade1 (G1) classification of WHO 2017. At 11 months follow-up, the patient had no recurrence.
