Primary Presacral Neuroendocrine Tumor: A Case Report and Review of MRI Findings

Primary presacral neuroendocrine tumor (NET) is extremely rare. Furthermore, its preoperative diagnosis is very difficult, and its imaging characteristics are not well described. We report the case of a 70-year-old female with presacral NET, and describe its imaging features on diffusion-weighted ma...

description Primary presacral neuroendocrine tumor (NET) is extremely rare. Furthermore, its preoperative diagnosis is very difficult, and its imaging characteristics are not well described. We report the case of a 70-year-old female with presacral NET, and describe its imaging features on diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging.
