Abstract

Neuroendocrine tumors (NET) are originated from chromaffin-like cells. They are rarely seen anywhere in the body and they occur with many different clinical situations by regions and organs where they appear. They are mostly benign but they can be aggressive. Rectal NETs are asymptomatic 90% and they are detected incidentally during colonoscopy. We presented a case that was opened ostomy for fournier’s gangrene and diagnosed NET during routine colonoscopy, before the closing ostomy.
