Non-ampullary duodenal neuroendocrine tumours - a tertiary referral centre experience.

ABSTRACT: Duodenal neuroendocrine tumours (duodenal NETs) are uncommon tumours, accounting for 3% of all duodenal malignancies. They can have varied clinical behaviour and often can have metastatic disease at presentation. Due to the unpredictable clinical behaviour, European Neuroendocrine Tumour Society guidelines recommend the consideration of resection of these lesions if the disease is localised. Endoscopic resection is challenging in the duodenum due to the thin mucosal wall and difficulty with access depending on the location of the lesion. We reviewed our experience of 42 non-ampullary duodenal NETs managed at a single centre. 81% had resection for the duodenal NETs of which 50% were resected endoscopically. Endoscopic outcomes were excellent with macroscopic resection of all lesions, there
