Abstract: Primary hepatic endocrine tumours were identified in almost 5 per cent of patients with digestive endocrine tumours. Poor differentiation was the only factor associated with unfavourable outcome.

“…In a 19‐case series the primary tumor was located 25 and 46 months after LTx in two cases and remained undetermined in another (16). A possible explanation for the difficulty in determining primary location is that the liver tumor itself is the primary (28,29). However, this seems unlikely not only because primary hepatic endocrine tumors are extremely rare (29,30) but also because the multi‐nodular appearance of the lesions in our series is inconsistent with the usual appearance of primary hepatic endocrine tumors that are typically solitary and centrally located (28).…”

“…In a study of 393 digestive neuroendocrine tumors, only 5% had a primary neuroendocrine neoplasm in liver[19]. In a study of 13715 neuroendocrine tumors, liver was the second most common site of metastasis after lymph nodes[5].…”
