Abstract:
Objective:To explore the clinical features, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of rectal neuroendocrine tumor with lymphatic metastasis.Method:There were 153 case who were diagnosed with RNET, among them, there were 10 patients(6.5%) with lymphatic metastasis in Affiliated Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science & Technology from January 2012 to December 2020, including 4 males and 6 females, aged from 32 to 71 years old, and the median age was 56.5 years.Results:Of the 10 patients, 3 had tumors < 1 cm in diameter, 4 had 1 to 2 cm, and 3 had > 2 cm. Preoperative CT examination was performed in 10 patients, of which 9 suggested lymphatic metastasis; preoperative MRI examination was performed in 7 patients, of which 6 suggested lymphatic metastasis. All patients were received radical resection, in which Miles operation was performed in 2 cases, Dixon operation in 6 cases, and additional Dixon operation after endoscopic submucosal dissection in 2 cases.All patients were followed up for 51 months (ranged from 14 to 118 months). Nine patients had no recurrence or metastasis, and one patient had abdominal metastasis 40 months after surgery and died after 31 months of comprehensive treatment.Conclusions:Lymphatic metastasis is rare in rectal neuroendocrine tumor. Imaging examination has important reference value for judging the status of lymphatic metastasis. For rectal neuroendocrine tumor with lymphatic metastasis, radical resection is effective.
