Abstract
Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are rare, with an annual incidence of 10/100,000 inhabitants, with an increase in incidence in the last 30 years that probably is due to an improvement in diagnostic techniques. However, NETs the second neoplasia most prevalent advanced disease of the gastrointestinal tract due to its high survival. It´s way of presentation is usually with vague symptoms and often without an incidental diagnosis from the use of imaging techniques. A correct differential diagnosis will allow us its early diagnosis and its treatment. We present the case of a patient diagnosed with NET whose symptoms of presentation was lower gastrointestinal bleeding with a negative endoscopic study.
