Abstract
The World Health Organization classified rectal neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) as malignant in 2010 owing to their distant metastasis potential. On the other hand, in cases of small rectal NETs (<10 mm), which have a low risk of metastasis, endoscopic removal is the first-line therapeutic option, and regular surveillance is not recommended. The authors report a case of a small, well-differentiated rectal NET, which recurred as multiple hepatic metastases 5 years after apparent complete removal using endoscopic methods.
