ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Primary neuroendocrine tumor (PNET) of the liver is a very rare neoplasm. This study was conducted to analyze the clinical experience of 8 hepatic PNET cases.METHODS:
Four male and 4 female patients with a mean age of 50.4 +/- 9.5 years (range 37-64 years) underwent liver resection for hepatic PNET between January 1997 and December 2006. The diagnosis was confirmed histologically using light microscopy and immunohistochemistry in the absence of an alternative primary siteRESULTS:
Curative resection was achieved in 6 of the 8 patients, and 5 of the patients were alive and disease free after a mean follow-up period of 47.6 months. However, 3 patients died 3, 5 and 26 months after surgery due to multiple liver metastasis. A proliferative index of Ki67 appeared to indicate a significant risk factor for tumor recurrence. Additionally, recurrence occurred in 1 of the 6 patients that underwent curative resection during the follow-up period. Overall, both the 5-year recurrence rate and the 5-year survival rate were 50%.CONCLUSIONS:
Active exclusion of an extrahepatic primary site is essential for diagnosis of hepatic PNET. The primary treatment for PNET is curative liver resection, and a proliferative index of Ki67 appears to be a prognostic factor for tumor recurrence.
