dc.description.abstractBackground: Neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) is a rare entity which accounts less than 2% worldwide. Its non-specific presentation posed a challenge for diagnosis. Case Presentation: We present a 53-year-old Malay lady presented with epigastric pain and constitutional symptoms. Imaging re-vealed a suspicious mass within the gall bladder. She was scheduled for a radical cholecystectomy. The tumour was found to extend beyond the liver and colon. A segmental liver resection and transverse colectomy was performed. Postoperative recovery was une-ventful. Histopathology came back as neuroendocrine tumour of the gall bladder. Conclusion: A high index of suspicion is needed to diagnose a rare entity such as this. An early detection may improve patients' survival.
