RESUMEN
Los tumores neuroendocrinos gastrointestinales (TNEG), también llamados tumores carcinoides gastrointestinales, son neoplasias derivadas de células neuroendocrinas. Pueden formarse en todo el sistema gastrointestinal, siendo el íleon el lugar de origen más frecuente. Su forma de aparición es esporádica o asociada a síndromes familiares como von Hippel Lindau y neurofibromatosis. Los TNEG se diagnostican en su mayoría ya cuando la neoplasia ha invadido ganglios linfáticos u otros órganos distantes, ejemplo de esto es el síndrome carcinoide que se desarrolla por invasión hepática tumoral. La cirugía es el único tratamiento curativo...
ABSTRACT
Gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors (TNEG), also called gastrointestinal carcinoid tumors, are neoplasms arising from neuroendocrine cells. They may form all around the gastrointestinal system, being the ileum the most common place of origin. Its form of onset is sporadic or associated with familial syndromes such as von Hippel Lindau and neurofibromatosis. TNEG are mostly diagnosed when the tumor has already invaded lymph nodes or distant organs, being an example of this the carcinoid syndrome; which develops as a manifestation of hepatic invasion. Surgery is the only curative treatment...
