Metastatic neuroendocrine carcinoma: Liver metastases presenting with diffuse nodular calcifications on CT

J Cancer Res Ther. 2024 Jan 1;20(1):464-466. doi: 10.4103/jcrt.jcrt_497_21. Epub 2023 Apr 5.

Abstract

We report a case of the 46-year-old female patient, who presented with diffuse nodular liver calcifications on computed tomography. Histopathology of the calcified nodules revealed neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). Calcified NET liver metastases are extremely rare and need to be considered in the differential diagnosis with other benign and malignant liver calcification.
