abstract: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (pNET) is a rare type of pancreatic tumors. The incidence of pNET shows a gradually increasing trend in recent years. Except insulinoma, majority of pNET are metastatic when diagnosis. And liver is the most common organ of distant metastases. Liver metastases are the main determinant for long-term survival and quality of life of patients with pNET. A case of liver metastases of pNET of a 44-year-old female patient is presented in this study. Then we have a brief discussion of the diagnosis and multidisciplinary treatment of advanced pNET.
