A Rare Riding Horse on the Ovary: Metastatic Neuroendocrine Tumour from Liver

Neuroendocrine tumours are neoplasms that arise from cells of the endocrine (hormonal) and nervous systems. Many are benign, while some are malignant. Neuroendocrine tumours of the ovary are rare and of uncertain histogenesis. They may be primary or metastatic. Primary as well as metastatic neuroendocrine tumour to ovary is extremely rare. The distinction between primary and secondary ovarian tumours is critical since therapy and prognosis differ. Herein, we report a case of a metastatic hepatic neuroendocrine tumour (Grade-2) to ovary which is an uncommon condition, so that both clinician and pathologist will get enlighten with the occurrence of this rare entity. We believed that this was a wonderful chance to raise awareness of neuroendocrine neoplasms, which are quite uncommon in gynecological practices.
