Abstract:
Tumor-related diarrhea is a rare cause of chronic diarrhea in children, which is usually one of the clinical manifestations of specific functional syndrome of neuroendocrine neoplasms.Diarrhea may appear as the initial symptom or accompany symptom of disease progression, and it is generally relieved or cured after surgical resection.The present review mainly introduces several common neuroendocrine neoplasms which cause chronic diarrhea in children, and summarizes their different diarrhea features and mechanisms, as well as key points in diagnosis and treatment, in order to improve the rate of early diagnosis and prognosis of children.
