Abstract: Abstract Small intestine neuroendocrine tumors are predominantly small but with high potential for distant metastases development. Diagnosis establishment in early-stage is often difficult and challenging. Small intestine neuroendocrine tumors often initially present with liver metastases. According to the Consensus Guidelines of the North American Neuroendocrine Tumor Society, in patients with liver metastases from unknown origin of primary neuroendocrine tumor, surgical exploration should be performed in order to identify the primary location, prevent small intestine obstruction, and treat one if already present. We present a case of a 69-year-old male patient diagnosed with liver and peritoneal metastases due to small bowel neuroendocrine tumor treated with surgery due to the presence of small intestine obstruction.
