abstract={We present a 56-year-old patient with liver metastases from nonfunctional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor. The disease is found incidentally in a patient with nonspecific symptoms. Conventional abdominal ultrasound establishes several liver lesions mimicking hemangiomas. On contrast enhancement ultrasonography hypervascularized secondary liver lesions are detected. Subsequent imaging methods and biochemical tests diagnose a pancreatic neuroendocrine metastatic tumor. Left-sided pancreatectomy with splenectomy is carried out. The patient is in good general condition six months after initiation of combination therapy with everolimus and sandostatin LAR depot. Tc-99m-tektrotyd single photon emission computed tomography-CT hybrid imaging shows reduced accumulation of the radiopharmaceutical in the liver parenchyma without data of pancreatic tumor.},
