Neuroendocrine Tumor-II as a Primary in the Central Nervous System

Abstract

Malignancies known as neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) have sporadic instances of developing central nervous system. It was discovered that a 36-year- old lady had a primary Neuroendocrine tumor of the brain who presented with headache, vomiting, and hearing difficulty from the left ear and was diagnosed with a left cerebellopontine angle solid mass. After subtotal excision, histology revealed a Neuroendocrine tumor-II. Adjuvant radiation was administered following a thorough search for an extracranial main tumour, which included the use of Ga-68 DOTANOC- PET-CT. This led to the identification of a primary central nervous system Neuroendocrine tumor. The patient was free of metastatic or recurrent disease at 9 months of follow-up.
