Imaging of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors

Figure 2 Computed tomography images of a patient with metastatic neuroendocrine carcinoma. A: Axial T1 weighted fat-suppressed image of the brain in a patient with metastatic neuroendocrine carcinoma. Multiple ring enhancing lesions (arrows) are present in the right cerebral hemisphere, consistent with metastases. The dominant lesion in the right frontal lobe was hemorrhagic; B: Reconstructed contrast enhanced computed tomography image of the same patient in the coronal plane shows multiple sites of metastases: perigastric nodes (arrowhead), bilateral adrenal glands (black *), extension into the left renal vein (arrow) and a left axillary lymph node (white *). The primary lesion is believed to have originated from the stomach, which presented as an ulcerated mass on endoscopy (not shown).
